This holiday season, we're proud to continue supporting families with children undergoing treatment at Phoenix Children's Hospital through our partnership with Team Jaydie. ❤️ We’re thrilled to be able to assist three families by fulfilling wish lists, providing essential clothing, and offering gift cards for groceries and fuel to ease their burdens.

⭐Year-End Reminder: Make the Most of Your FSA or HSA! As 2024 winds down, now’s the perfect time to review your healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) balances and put those funds to good use.   (Note: FSAs are “use-it-or-lose-it,” but some plans may allow up to $640 to carry over. HSA funds roll over into the next year, making them a great long-term savings tool.) Don’t forget, if you have contributions going into an HSA this year, you can only have a limited-purpose FSA, which is available for dental and vision expenses only. You can use your HSA for the eligible purchases below. Eligible purchases include: 🌿 Skincare Products like moisturizers, cleansers, and serums ☀️ Sunscreen for year-round protection 🩹 First Aid Supplies such as bandages and ointments Retailers like Amazon, Target, and Sephora even have dedicated sections of their website for these products: - Amazon: https://lnkd.in/gKKB-9Wn - Target: https://lnkd.in/gTcSDZ_t - Sephora: https://lnkd.in/gY5pWgub #BCGAlera #HealthyEmployer

🛍️🔒 Cyber Monday is one of the year's biggest shopping days, but online shopping comes with risks. Protect yourself while you score great savings this holiday season with these key tips: ☑️Stick to secure sites – Look for “https” and double-check web addresses to avoid lookalike scam sites. ☑️Shop trusted sellers – Be cautious of businesses you aren't familiar with, and research before you buy. ☑️ Use a credit card – It’s safer than debit cards for disputing unauthorized charges. ☑️ Avoid phishing scams – Ignore suspicious links or requests for personal info. ☑️ Compare prices – If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is. Stay alert and safe while shopping this holiday season, and reach out to our BCG P&C team for more tips! #BCGAlera #PropertyandCasualty

This morning, over 500 attendees at the Accelerent Phoenix/BCG Breakfast Event had the honor of hearing Commander Kirk Lippold share his powerful story of leadership and resilience. “When you have a crisis, you begin to make decisions. You make the best decisions possible based on the information you have in that moment in time,” he explained, describing it as “acting in the now, while thinking ahead.” This mindset challenges us to ask, “What’s next?” What steps do I need to take to think, plan, and stay focused on the mission ahead? Commander Lippold’s story of overcoming extraordinary challenges was both humbling and inspiring. It’s a reminder of the resilience, accountability, and courage we all must summon in the face of adversity. To Commander Lippold and all who serve our nation: thank you for your unwavering commitment. Your sacrifices inspire us every day. --- For more information about today’s event, go to the Insights section of our website: https://lnkd.in/gq5tUuJr.  #AccelerentPhoenix #BCGAlera
