Making an Impact: PURE’s Commitment to Giving Back

PURE Staff

March 13, 2026


Giving back to the communities around us has always been a core part of PURE’s identity. By encouraging our employees to support the causes they care about, we deepen their connection to PURE and give them the opportunity to positively impact the places they call home.

"Volunteering gives us the chance to think beyond ourselves and use our skills for the common good. Giving back and making an impact where you can really helps you feel like a part of the community."
– David Wedemeyer, Underwriter

Volunteering is why I am here on Earth; to be of service to those in need. I am so very grateful for PURE's support on every level and to be part of a company that places service at the heart of all we do.
– Emily Lingvall, Service Excellence Analyst

Supporting leaders of the next generation through our partnership with First Tee

Since 2017, we have proudly served as the title sponsor of The PURE Insurance Championship. This PGA TOUR Champions event hosted at Pebble Beach Golf Links supports hundreds of nonprofit organizations including First Tee, an organization that impacts the lives of young people by promoting character development, life skills and values through education and golf. The event pairs PGA TOUR Champions with juniors from First Tee, as well as amateur players, providing an unforgettable experience for all involved. 

In 2021, we introduced the PURE Insurance Scholars to further our support of First Tee and its College Scholarship Program. This scholarship provides financial support and mentorship to standout First Tee juniors. With the help of many, PURE surpassed the first $1 million goal in just four years and is committed to raise another $1 million by 2029 to continue supporting First Tee and PURE Insurance Scholars.

In college, volunteering was a big part of my life, and I worried I’d lose that after graduating. Thanks to VTO, I’ve been able to stay involved in the causes I care about, and I’m grateful for that support.
