ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
American Safety Insurance raised approximately $60,000 for Habitat for Humanity
and the America Heart Association at its Sixth Annual Charity Golf Tournament,
held October 1, 2009. 

The funds, to be divided between the two organizations, were raised through
player entry fees, sponsorships, mulligan and raffle ticket sales, as well as an
ASI company match. Gold sponsors included Bunker Hill Insurance Agency, CRC of
West Glendale, Fields Howell Athans + McLaughlin LLP, HCF Insurance and NIIT
Technologies. 

"Once again, the day was a huge success because of the generosity of our
employees, vendors, customers and business partners, especially given the
current economic conditions," said Stephen R. Crim, CEO of ASI and a participant
in the tournament, "Our employees enjoy raising money for great causes, and I am
pleased that we were able to meet our fundraising goals for the sixth straight
year." 

This year`s event was held at BridgeMill Golf Club in Canton, Georgia and
boasted more than 130 golfers from across the U.S. Players enjoyed multiple
opportunities to win prizes, such as: hole-in-ones for a new car, golf clubs and
golf vacations sponsored by Ed Voyles Kia; closest to the pin and longest drive
competitions; and a raffle, which offered a grand prize of a week's stay at a
private villa and roundtrip airfare for two to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. 

Since its inception in 2004, ASI`s annual tournament has raised more that
$225,000 for charitable organizations. In addition to Habitat for Humanity and
the American Heart Association, past recipients include Children`s Healthcare of
Atlanta, ALS Association, Autism Society of America, the Susan G. Komen
Foundation and American Cancer Society`s Atlanta chapters.
