About the EVENT
On August 25, 2008, State Farm® honored 13 men and women during an Embrace Life Awards Ceremony in Chicago, Ill. Each honoree received a paid trip for two to attend the ceremony along with a cash prize of $10,000. The honorees were selected by a blue ribbon panel from a national contest. They all renewed their lives and inspired others through their perseverance following the loss of a spouse or parent.
