We are excited to announce that WalkerHughes Insurance is proudly partnering with The Little Timmy Project as our agency's ‘Charity of the Quarter’ in Quarter 3 of 2024. 

About our Referral Program

At WalkerHughes Insurance, there is no higher compliment than a referral. A referral indicates that we have met the mark for our customers and that they are satisfied with the service provided. We are pleased when our customers trust us enough to recommend us to those closest to them. We know how important friends and family members are, and we promise to treat yours as if they were our own! 

For every customer referring friends and family members that complete a no-obligation insurance review, we will send you a $5 coffee e-gift card as a token of our appreciation! As part of our referral program, we will also make a matching $5 donation to our agency’s ‘Charity of the Quarter’. The purpose of this program is to help organizations close to the hearts of our employees while providing our customers the opportunity to not only receive a coffee on us, but to also help a worthy cause by referring their friends and family. In addition, this also gives us the opportunity to promote awareness of these organizations in our communities through our online presence. 

Why The Little Timmy Project?

The Little Timmy Project was nominated by WalkerHughes team member, Drew Schmutte, as our agency’s Charity of the Quarter. Drew is an Employee Benefits Consultant working out of our Carmel office and is close friends with The Little Timmy Project founder, Katie Kirkhoff. Drew is passionate about The Little Timmy Project, sharing the big work Katie and her team are doing in the community with his WalkerHughes work family and helping to spread their mission through his advocacy. We are so appreciative of team members like Drew who bring such incredible organizations forward through nominations for our Charity of the Quarter program.

About The Little Timmy Project

In 2018 Katie suffered the tragic loss of her son, Timmy, when he passed away while he was sleeping at five weeks old due to SIDs. As part of her healing journey, she researched prenatal, newborn, and pregnancy issues and found that Indiana has some of the most concerning infant and maternal health statistics in the United States. In responses to finding those troubling statistics, Katie founded a nonprofit organization that provides support, collaborative efforts, and advocacy for birthing persons in the Indianapolis community. She named the nonprofit The Little Timmy Project. 

One way The Little Timmy Project offers their services is by providing a free pantry for parent and baby essentials called the Little Mom Shop. The Little Timmy Project also created the BIPOC Doula Scholarship Fund to provide aspiring and current birth workers access to funding as they seek further training. Through community-based support projects, collaboration, and advocacy, The Little Timmy Project strives to foster an environment where pregnant birthing persons are provided quality health care, as well as emotional and mental support during and after pregnancy. This organization is funded entirely by donations and contributions from the public and staffed by volunteers. 

How Can You Help?

• WalkerHughes Customers: If a friend or family member mentions insurance woes or you think we could be of assistance to them, please send them our way! We will send you an e-treat, hopefully help your friend or family member by providing them with a no-obligation insurance review and then make a $5 donation to The Little Timmy Project.
• The Little Timmy Project: If you or any members of your team would like to review their insurance options with our team, let us know! Simply mention 'The Little Timmy Project' and we will document that in our system and include a $5 donation to The Little Timmy Project for every referral. 
• WalkerHughes Employees, Friends, Family and Community Members: Please help us spread the word!! We will have promotional material on our social media pages, if you could like, comment, or share that would help us increase our reach and get the word out. 

Thank you, The Little Timmy Project, for everything you do to provide care for mothers and infants in Indianapolis! We appreciate your contribution to our community and are proud to partner with you on our referral program!
