September is Life Insurance Awareness Month and New York Life is proud to support this industry-wide effort.
Life Insurance is a financial tool that protects against the risk that a person will die too soon and be unable to fulfill obligations to loved ones. A life insurance policy guarantees that a designated amount of money will be available, generally income-tax-free, at the very time it is needed most, at death, when survivors may be exposed to certain financial risks, such as burial expenses, loss of personal or business income and debts.
For over 160 years, New York Life Insurance Company has been committed to making a difference in communities across the country. Since protecting families is at the heart of what we do, hosting a Child Safety & Protection Festival is just another way New York Life is serving the needs of local families.
