Although the general public's perception of the insurance industry may not be positive, the antidote can be found in the reality of the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF).

Founded in 1994 in San Francisco, the organization's mission statement is to help communities and enrich lives through the collective talent of the industry. Over the years, the Foundation has awarded more than $16 million in local community grants and contributed more than 140,000 hours of volunteer service. This year's IICF October Volunteer Week drew more than 4,000 volunteers who worked more than 20,000 hours.

The fourth annual IICF New York division annual benefit dinner, which will be held tonight at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, has already raised more than $1.1 million for regional charities including Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Boys Hope Girls Hope NY, Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and World Cares Center.
