At Inszone Insurance Services, we proudly recognize team members who demonstrate outstanding dedication to supporting their communities through our Charitable Time Off (CTO) program. Recently, Chris Castadio, Asher Waldman, Jerry Weaver, and Shane Canter volunteered with the Santa Monica Mountains Fund during its “Free Plant Fridays” initiative on August 15, 2025.
The Santa Monica Mountains Fund is a nonprofit dedicated to protecting and preserving the Santa Monica Mountains through conservation, restoration, and education. Their Native Plant Nursery plays a vital role in cultivating and reintroducing native species, supporting biodiversity, and maintaining healthy ecosystems for the region.
During the event, our team members rolled up their sleeves to weed and water hundreds of oak saplings, transplant endangered plants, and cultivate milkweed to bolster Monarch butterfly populations. Each participant connected deeply with the cause — from Chris reflecting on the Fund’s role in sustaining clean water and landmarks, to Asher highlighting its work preserving trails he’s enjoyed for years, to Jerry emphasizing the joy of “helping nature stay alive and growing,” and Shane sharing his passion for protecting monarch habitats through native milkweed planting.
We commend Chris, Asher, Jerry, and Shane for their dedication to environmental stewardship and community service. At Inszone Insurance Services, we proudly encourage and support team members participating in community initiatives through our Charitable Time Off program.
If you’re an Inszone Insurance employee interested in volunteering through our Charitable Time Off program, please reach out to HR to learn how you can get involved and make a meaningful difference.
