As a father of three, the mission of Claire’s Army resonates deeply with Zach Ligon, principal at Community One Insurance. Claire’s Army is dedicated to supporting families battling childhood cancer, allowing them to focus on what matters most: their children. Their mission centers around serving families, loving kids, and fighting cancer, providing invaluable support during incredibly challenging times.
After hearing family testimonials at Claire’s Army’s gala, Zach locked in and committed Community One Insurance to raising awareness and funds for the nonprofit. In 2024, the agency organized the Community Heroes Festival, which raised an impressive $30,000 in its inaugural year. This year, they aim to raise $50,000 to support Claire’s Army further.
“We’re a community-oriented agency and it’s important to make a difference for our neighbors facing unimaginable hardship. We invited our clients, family, friends and referral partners to join in the fun at our festival, and our entire agency staff, spouses and children volunteer for the event – making it a true team effort.
To see the community come together, bring awareness to Claire’s Army and their mission, raise money and have fun while doing it – it’s priceless,” said Zach Ligon, principal at Community One Insurance.
The $10,000 award will directly benefit 30 to 50 families through “Claire packages” filled with essentials like towels, groceries, and gasoline gift cards. The award would also support emergency assistance and fund the meal program, which provides made-to-order meals from local restaurants to patients and families during treatment.

I missed the event. How do I get on the list for next year’s event? Also, I am not familiar with Clare’s Army? Is this a local charity or a tax exempt organization?
This year’s Community Heroes event was on 4/26/25. It was a blast. We ended up right at our goal supporting Claire’s Army! All family and friends involved had a great time! Already looking forward to the 3rd annual Community Heroes Event in 2026!
