INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IMG (International Medical Group), an award-winning global insurance benefits and assistance services company, is excited to announce its continued sponsorship of School the World, an organization focused on providing access to quality education in Central America. For the sixth time, IMG will be sending a group of employees on a week-long, corporate service trip to Guatemala where they will assist in building a new school for a community in need.
"Year after year, our company's sponsorship of School the World has been a highlight for our team members around the globe, and we are proud to send another group of IMG employees to participate in the 2025 corporate service trip," said IMG President and CEO, Steve Paraboschi. "IMG's purpose is to be there to protect and enhance the well-being of our customers, and this trip allows our employees to gain a better understanding of what it means to be there for our customers through international travel."
The IMG School the World team members were selected based on applications submitted via written essay or video. Submitted applications were carefully reviewed, and 6 IMG employees were chosen to embark on the trip of a lifetime.
School the World was founded in 2009 to fight extreme poverty by bringing quality education to children in Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama. Since its founding, the non-profit organization has built nearly 150 schools for more than 17,800 children. School the World works both on-site in poverty-stricken communities who have little to no access to education, as well as in the U.S., providing students, families, and companies the opportunity to create change.
"We are so excited that IMG is partnering with School the World for another corporate service trip in 2025," said Kate Curran, Founder and CEO of School the World. "Our organization is on a mission to solve the education crisis in our world, and the work we do wouldn't be possible without the generosity of corporate partners like IMG. We cannot wait for another trip to Guatemala together."
The 2025 service trip will take place March 2-8, 2025. For more information about School the World, visit https://schooltheworld.org/.
