(NEW YORK) April 22, 2025 – Demonstrating its continued commitment to the local communities that host RISKWORLD, RIMS, the risk management society® has selected A Safe Haven Foundation (ASHF) as its 2025 RISKWORLD Community Service Project beneficiary. A Safe Haven Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to Restoring Hope and Opportunity™ to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Chicagoland area by providing treatment, housing, career pathways, and a range of other support services.
The 2025 RISKWORLD Community Service Day Project, sponsored by ESIS®, A Chubb Company, will welcome RISKWORLD attendees to assemble hygiene kits for the locals who rely on A Safe Haven Foundation’s services. Hygiene kit assembly stations will be in the McCormick Place Convention Center during RISKWORLD and all registered RISKWORLD attendees are invited to participate.
In one year alone, A Safe Haven Foundation can serve more than 3,500 adults and youth facing homelessness, provide approximately 500,000 meals, place nearly 1,000 homeless adults in stable housing, and secure over 10,000 classroom hours for adults, youth, and children in crisis. Founded in 2001, A Safe Haven Foundation is a leader in the nonprofit community and at the forefront of addressing the fastest-growing challenges our communities face — substance use disorder, mental health challenges, and homelessness. With broad community support, ASHF has grown to become one of the largest social services providers in the region. To learn more about A Safe Haven Foundation or to donate, visit www.asafehaven.org.
"We are honored to be the beneficiary of the 2025 RISKWORLD Community Service Project. This means a great deal to us," said Mark Mulroe, President of A Safe Haven Foundation. "This partnership demonstrates that we can combat homelessness more effectively when we work together. By supporting A Safe Haven Foundation, the risk management community is making a significant impact on our most vulnerable community members. Their support provides essential resources and offers hope to those in need. Together, we are not just changing lives; we are also creating paths to independence and self-sufficiency."
"At ESIS, we believe that our commitment to service goes beyond handling claims and managing risk – it’s about making a real difference in the communities we serve,” said Jim Shevlin, President of ESIS. “As we celebrate our eighth consecutive year sponsoring a local charity at RISKWORLD, we’re proud to support A Safe Haven and its mission to provide hope and stability to those in need. We look forward to working with our industry peers to assemble these hygiene kits."
“RISKWORLD presents so many exceptional opportunities for attendees to learn, grow, and succeed, and, through the Community Service Project, we are proud to provide those same opportunities to the vulnerable members of Chicago’s community who rely on A Safe Haven Foundation’s services,” said RIMS CEO Gary LaBranche, FASAE, CAE. “The RISKWORLD Community Service Project is an important part of the conference experience, and we thank ESIS for their continued support that helps make this project possible.”
Demonstrating its gratitude for the city that hosts RISKWORLD, RIMS, the risk management society®, identifies a local charity and develops fun and engaging activities for RISKWORLD attendees to give back. As one of the first entities to host a large convention in post-Katrina New Orleans, RIMS first Community Service Project was in 2007 to support local families in the area to rebuild infrastructure devastated by the natural disaster.
