The women in insurance cancer crusade, or WICC, is more than an insurance based charity, it is a purpose to change how we address cancer and support the fight against it. We had the pleasure to sit down with the current co-chairs and past chair to talk about it's origins, the stigma of cancer, and how it grew to be the most important charitable initiative in the insurance industry.

In this episode:

• Why the importance 'women' in the history of WICC matters
• The journey of support for those with cancer in the insurance industry and beyond
• How the organization became a national brand
• What the value is for donations and how contributions are managed so effectively
• How the milestone of 30 years is just a start

Marilyn, Garth and Amanda share their beliefs, passion and vision for WICC and how it makes an impact far beyond the insurance industry.
