KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 15, 2024 /CSRwire/ - Northwestern Mutual is celebrating the outstanding volunteerism of its financial professionals through its annual Community Service Awards (CSA) program. This year, 16 financial advisors and representatives were recognized for their transformational impact on the communities they serve, totaling $295,000 in grants to nonprofits nationwide. Local Kansas City resident Marcy Langhofer, an associate financial representative at Northwestern Mutual – Kansas City, has been named a 2024 Most Exceptional Community Service Award winner, receiving a $25,000 grant for The Do Good for Erin Foundation.

“At Northwestern Mutual we believe in putting people first. This value is highlighted through our dedicated financial advisors who are not only building better tomorrows for their clients, but also for their communities,” said Steve Radke, president of the Northwestern Mutual Foundation. “Through their philanthropic work, our advisors are donating their time and talents to help local nonprofit organizations.”

After losing her daughter, Erin, to a senseless act of gun violence in 2019, Langhofer, with the help of friends and family, started The Do Good for Erin Foundation to continue her daughter’s passion for helping others. Erin had an empathetic spirit and dedicated her career in social work to advocate and support numerous domestic violence agencies in the Kansas City area. The foundation’s mission is to end violence and to provide compassion to those it affects.

“The Do Good for Erin Foundation is driven by its greater mission to spread goodness and support the fight against violence,” said Langhofer. “Thanks to this grant provided by Northwestern Mutual’s Community Service Awards program, we will be able to support more local organizations that are dedicated to violence prevention through emergency shelter, advocacy and education programs.”

Now in its 29^th year, Northwestern Mutual, through its Foundation and Community Service Awards program, has donated nearly $7 million to nonprofits supported by financial professionals in their communities across the country.
