Skyward Specialty’s annual partnership with Boots For Troops was a resounding success! For the eighth consecutive year, we proudly sponsored 10 American service members deployed overseas, working together to bring a little extra joy to their holiday season. We rallied our team with a challenge to contribute to care packages, and the response was nothing short of inspiring. Our incredible employees contributed over 300 items and $7,900 in donations. With the support of the Skyward Foundation’s Matching Gifts Program, this effort resulted in a remarkable total of $15,800! At Skyward Specialty, helping others isn’t just part of our mission—it’s at the heart of who we are. This holiday season, we’re reminded of the extraordinary impact we can achieve when we unite to support those who serve. #BootsForTroops #HolidaySeason #goingskyward Dijana Popova Ivanovski Jodi Lundquist
