In the past two years, the Allstate Foundation has awarded $1,000 each to the Friends of Children’s Justice Center of East Hawaii, Hawaii Island United Way, Paddling for Hope, American Cancer Society, Rotary District 5000 Foundation, Deep & Beyond, Young Women’s Christian Association of Oahu and YWCA of Hawaii Island, where he has spent time volunteering.
“As a small-business owner in Hilo, I have enjoyed volunteering and giving back to my community,” Speegle said. “The Allstate Foundation celebrates the spirit of service and commitment to the community where I live and work. I’m grateful to give money back to help make our hometown a stronger, safer place.”
