Rooted in Lancaster: How Bill Palmer Celebrates Community, and Gives Back

Lancaster Ohio Golden Gales

At Bill Palmer Insurance, we’re more than just a leading provider of car insurance, commercial coverage and home owner polices. We’re a family-owned business that’s been a proud member of the Lancaster, Ohio community for 47 years! We’ve witnessed the growth, the spirit, and the heart of this town, and it’s woven into the very fabric of our company.

Giving Back Where We Grew Up

We believe a strong community is a thriving community. That’s why we’re passionate about giving back to Lancaster and supporting causes that are close to our hearts, especially those that shape the future of our town. Here are a few ways we show our commitment:

Nurturing the Next Generation: Supporting Local Schools

Education is the foundation for a bright future, and Bill Palmer Insurance is dedicated to investing in our local schools. We partner with both Berne Union High School and Lancaster High School in several ways:

Financial Support: Schools can always benefit from funding, a cause in which we are passionate about.

Career Fairs: We occasionally participate in career fairs at both schools, and provide mentorship/internships, providing students with an opportunity to connect with local businesses and explore potential career paths.

Equipment Donations: We understand the importance of well-equipped classrooms and labs.

We’ve also supported both athletic boosters and band boosters, which work to help students succeed as they participate in sanctioned sporting and arts related activities.

Personal Connections:

As a graduate of Berne Union myself (Bill Palmer), and with my wife and children having attended Lancaster High, these schools hold a special place in our family’s heart. Seeing the next generation of students thrive motivates us to continue our support.

Celebrating Tradition: The Fairfield County Fair. The Fairfield County Fair is a cornerstone of Lancaster, a week-long celebration of agriculture, family fun, and community spirit. Bill Palmer has been a proud supporter of the Fair for years:

Supporting 4-H Youth: Many of our clients and their children are involved in 4-H programs, raising animals and participating in competitions. We actively participate in the auction, purchasing animals from our young neighbors, and sponsoring the Demolition Derby’s.

Local Business Showcase: We encourage everyone to explore the fantastic variety of local businesses represented at the Fair, showcasing the best Lancaster has to offer. Just like Bill Palmer Insurance, these businesses are the backbone of our community.

Together We Grow

Lancaster isn’t just where we do business; it’s where we live, raise our families, and celebrate life’s milestones. We’re grateful to be part of this vibrant community, and we’re committed to making a positive impact for generations to come.
