2004 Fall Phonathon a Success

The 2004 Fall Phonathon was held November 8 and 9 at the offices of New York Life Insurance Company in New York, New York.

Even though official totals still are being tallied, the results are estimated to be more than $430,000 USD in pledges. More than $75,000 was received onsite through credit card contributions.

A special thanks is extended to the New York Life Insurance Company; Seymour Sternberg, CLU, chairman and CEO; and Philip J. Hildebrand, CLU, executive vice president. Sternberg and Hildebrand both are on the MDRT Foundation Board of Trustees. The Foundation also would like to recognize Carl Peterman, corporate vice president, for his assistance in coordinating this event. Throughout the years, New York Life Insurance Company has been extremely generous and given more than $285,000 USD to support the MDRT Foundation’s efforts.

Of course, this Phonathon could not have been such a success without a team of energetic and dedicated volunteers. The Foundation’s warmest gratitude goes to the following MDRT members who volunteered for the Phonathon:
