“Horace Mann is always looking for more ways to support educators, and here at the Lumberton office we’re excited to help the educators of Southeast Texas however we can.” – Quinton Mayer, local HM agent.
Horace Mann, through the You Are Awesome Sweepstakes, recently awarded $10,000 in DonorsChoose funding to educators nationwide. Winners were randomly drawn during the promotion period and will receive full funding for their designated DonorsChoose project, up to a maximum of $500 per winner.
