The CureSearch Ultimate Tri-CURE-athon
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and it’s a perfect time to show support to the many families affected by childhood cancer. The CureSearch Ultimate Tri-CURE-athon on September 24, 2016, in Whitehouse, Ohio is a hike, bike, OR, Fun-walk and festival benefiting CureSearch for Children’s Cancer. You can choose whether you would like to hike 12 miles in Oak Openings, or bike 21 miles on the South Fork of the Wabash Cannonball trail, or do a 1-mile fun-walk in Whitehouse Village Park. It’s not a triathlon. You choose one of three event types. Or, if you aren’t up to hiking, biking or fun-walking then you can opt to simply come to the park that day to enjoy the multitude of other fun happenings for this event. Check-out the Human Foosball and Human Hungry, Hungry Hippos games, Gaga Ball, Carnival games, a comedy and magic show, music, enjoy dinner grilled by the Whitehouse Fire Company and admire the artwork of our local young artists donated for the Create Away Cancer Art Auction. There will be something for everyone. It’s a chance to have a fun-time, fight childhood cancer, and honor the many families affected by childhood cancer.

Paramount Insurance Available for Chamber members!
Many businesses, especially smaller businesses, want affordable health insurance for their employees, but lack the buying power of much larger companies. By joining the Anthony Wayne Regional Chamber of Commerce, smaller businesses can take advantage of group buying power through special Alliance plans from Paramount that offer extremely competitive prices and a variety of plan options. Paramount’s association plans are for northwest Ohio businesses with 2-49 employees, as well as self-employed individuals who belong to an association. Alliance plans are available fully-funded, under our HMO or CDHP platform. We have a variety of association plan options for you to choose from. Please contact the Chamber today for more information and to be connected with one of our brokers.

Take Advantage of the Chamber ProComp Program!
In our efforts to contain Ohio workers’ compensation rates for our members, we have found that membership in a group rating program is the most cost effective route to pursue. As a current chamber member, you would have no additional association dues to pay for participation into our chamber sponsored group plan.
We recommend the services of ProComp Risk Advisors for placement of your company in the proper BWC certified group rating program. They are a locally owned TPA and we are confident they will fulfill any of your workers’ compensation concerns in a professional and responsive manner.
Enclosed is a temporary authorization form which must be completed and returned to ProComp Risk Advisors to receive a no cost/no obligation analysis of your projected savings in the group plan. You may then compare the findings of our study with those of your current group plan and select the program which generates your company the greatest savings. Remember, there is no cost or obligation to participate in the study. I urge you to take a few minutes and complete the form.
If you have any questions, please direct your inquires directly to the ProComp group rating department at (419) 724-2667.
