Know Someone Who's Lost a Loved One? Nominate Them Now!

State Farm Insurance honors men and women who have lost a parent or spouse and renewed their lives and inspired others through their perseverance. In it's fifth year, The Embrace Life® Awards celebrate the achievements and life lessons of those who have overcome losing their spouses or parents. Since 2004, the Award has been offered to five women each year. This year marking the fifth anniversary of the program, a group of 13 men and women, who have lost their spouse or parent, will be honored with $10,000 each and a trip for two to Chicago where they will be recognized at the Embrace Life Awards Ceremony.

If you know someone who has lost a loved one and has persevered, take the time to nominate them for this award!
