JMG Insurance To Sponsor New Canaan Fire Department in Oct. 1 ‘Combine’ [Q&A]

By |

A local insurance company is stepping up to help sponsor an Oct. 1 community event to benefit a special nonprofit organization. 

JMG Insurance Corp is sponsoring the Fire Department for the 2023 New Canaan Combine, benefiting the Gracie Fund for Pediatric Cancer. Created by New Canaan’s Falsetta family—here’s an interview with dad Chris about the effort— the Gracie Fund is named for the Falsettas’ 12-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with leukemia last year and is undergoing treatments. The Combine—organized by House of Telos owner Rebecca Kimball, a 2004 New Canaan High School graduate (podcast here)—is a fun athletic competition between the New Canaan Police and Fire Departments that also brings in community members to fundraise for a good cause. We put some questions to the company’s Francesca Forlivio. 

Here’s our exchange.
