About the gala
Last year, State Farm® honored five women during Life Insurance Awareness Month at a gala luncheon on New York City. Each honoree received a paid trip for two to attend the luncheon along with a cash prize of $10,000. This year, marking the fifth anniversary of the program, a group of 13 men and women who have a lost a spouse or parent were honored with $10,000 each and a trip for two to Chicago, where they were recognized for their accomplishments.
