| December 15, 2023 12:00 AM

Whitefish’s Lone Tree Insurance awarded a $10,000 donation to Special Olympics Montana, a local organization dedicated to providing year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

The awarded donation will help fund transportation costs for the athletes to and from competitive events and to purchase equipment and uniforms.

Dave Harriman, owner and principal of Lone Tree Insurance originally received a $5,000 donation for Special Olympics Montana thanks to a submission process with Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance through their 2023 Make More Happen Awards.

Lone Tree Insurance had the opportunity to raise an additional $5,000 by conducting a local awareness campaign for the nonprofit. Together with the community, the goal was met increasing the total donation to $10,000 for Special Olympics Montana.

Throughout 2023, Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance will select up to 37 independent agents nationwide for a Make More Happen Award donating up to $370,000 to the nonprofits they support. Agencies became eligible for the award by submitting an application and photos demonstrating their commitment to a specific nonprofit.
