W. R. Berkley Corporation Charitable Foundation on behalf of Key Risk (a Berkley Company), a leading provider of workers compensation insurance products and services for employers throughout the United States, today announced their annual fundraising contribution of $55,000 for Kids’ Chance chapters in six states. Formed by workers compensation professionals, Kids’ Chance state chapters award scholarships to students (ages 16-25) whose parent’s on-the-job death or catastrophic injury resulted in a substantial decline in family income.

“All of us at Key Risk understand the impact a work-related accident has on a family and we are proud to support local Kids’ Chance chapters each year,” said Rob Standen, president of Key Risk.

“Year after year our team finds new and innovative ways to support Kids’ Chance in our local states. Supporting students and families who have been impacted is an integral part of our organizational culture,” added Mr. Standen.

Over the past eight years, Key Risk has raised over $320,000 for local Kids’ Chance chapters across their footprint.

Contributions were given through the W. R. Berkley Corporation Charitable Foundation to Kids’ Chance chapters in Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia. Funds were raised for state chapters through the efforts of Key Risk associates on behalf of W. R. Berkley Corporation and Key Risk.
