Brokers International, LLC has become a patron sponsor for the Tori’s Angels Foundation Spring Cocktail Party and Fundraiser. The event will be held at the Stine Barn in West Des Moines on April 24.
Brokers International, LLC and Tori’s Angels share a long history. Brokers was based in Panora for many years before moving to Urbandale, while Tori’s Angels was founded in Panora in 2011. Brokers is proud to support an organization that serves families across the state of Iowa.
The Tori’s Angels Foundation’s mission is to help families who have a child with a life-threatening illness or condition. Among other services, the 501c3 nonprofit organization provides financial support by paying the medical expenses that insurance does not cover as well as travel costs associated with obtaining medical treatment.
This assistance allows families to seek the best available care for their child anywhere in the country and removes some of the financial burden so they focus completely on their family. To date, Tori’s Angels has assisted more than 180 families over the past 15 years.
Through their philanthropic arm, Brokers International Impact, the organization chose Tori’s Angels Foundation and the families they support as recipient of the $25,000 sponsorship for the annual Tori’s Angels Foundation event.
