The Goldschmidt Cancer Center, which serves cancer patients from 19 counties in the Mid-Missouri area, recently received a $10,000 donation from the Naught-Naught Agency through the 2019 Safeco Insurance Make More Happen Awards. The Naught-Naught Agency originally received $5,000 from Safeco for the Goldschmidt Cancer Center through a submission process, and Safeco offered Tom Naught, an independent agent for the Naught-Naught Agency, an additional chance to raise even more funds. Together, they were able to raise an additional $5,000 by having their story shared on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn at least 250 times over the course of a week. The donation will help the foundation help dozens of individuals in the Jefferson City area.
