Allstate grant awarded to Wayne Theatre Alliance

WAYNESBORO -- Leonard Lynch Allstate Insurance Agency recently presented an Allstate Foundation "Agency Hands in the Community" grant to the Wayne Theatre Alliance.

"The Wayne Theatre is part of the heritage of Waynesboro, of the Shenandoah Valley," said Leonard Lynch, who recently presented the financial contribution to the Alliance treasurer J.D. Robb. "We are such a growing older community, and I believe the project is important for the community as a whole."

"Companies and individuals like Lynch are the secret to the success of this project," Robb said. "People naturally think that it’s the six-figure gifts that make this project work, and yes, they do help. However, in truth, donations of every size, from $5 to $5,000 form the backbone of the campaign."

The Allstate Foundation is pleased to offer the "Agency Hands in the Community" grants to recognize the outstanding efforts of qualified agents who volunteer in their communities.
