Allstate Insurance Agent Jim Phillips, Austin, TX

The Cure Starts Now received a $44,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant in honor of our efforts to support Team Brock, named for the son of Allstate agency owner Melissa Fleming. Brock passed away in 2017 from DIPG, a rare form of pediatric brain cancer. Giving back to Austin through volunteerism is tremendously rewarding and gives our team a sense of fulfillment. We believe when we help others, our community can grow to be stronger and healthier, which is why we’re proud to support the work of The Cure Starts Now.

In an effort to support the Texas Advocacy Project through Purple Purse, our office is a drop-off location for toiletries. Allstate Foundation Purple Purse is the longest-running national campaign focused on ending domestic violence through a proven solution: financial empowerment for survivors. All the items collected will be given to the Texas Advocacy Project — helping those in need in our community. Please stop by with your donations before November 3.
