💜 An evening of hope, healing, and community!

Rathbun Insurance was proud to once again support the Ele's Place - Capital Region Place Fall Reception! Ben Rathbun, Cheryl Grimes, and Denise Ordiway had a wonderful time celebrating an organization that means so much to our team.

Our connection to Ele’s Place goes beyond sponsorship. Ben has volunteered for more than a decade and serves on the Capital Region Community Board, while Denise has dedicated years to helping grieving children as a volunteer grief facilitator. 💜

We are incredibly proud of their commitment to ensuring no child or teen grieves alone in Michigan.

🫂Join us in the 517K Kindness Challenge🫂

Rathbun Insurance is excited to join the Lansing School District 517K Kindness Challenge and help spread kindness throughout our community!

Together with Lansing School District students, staff, families, and community partners, we are working towards a goal of 517,000 acts of kindness by World Kindness Day on November 13th. As part of the community, our team is ready to take on the challenge of contributing our acts of kindness towards the goal. A little kindness can go a long way! Whether it’s lending a helping hand, showing appreciation, volunteering, or simply doing something thoughtful to brighten someone’s day, every act of kindness counts!

We’re excited to see the positive impact we can make in our community, one act of kindness at a time.

A serious car accident can happen in seconds, but the financial impact can last much longer. 🚗💥

Hunger impacts neighbors across our community, and ending it takes all of us.

Rathbun Insurance CEO Ben Rathbun and President Laura Stoken had the honor of attending the Greater Lansing Food Bank’s 2nd Annual State of the Plate, held in recognition of Hunger Action Day.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! 🔐💻

For businesses, protecting your data and systems isn’t just an IT issue. It can also impact your cyber insurance.

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is one of the most important cybersecurity safeguards businesses can put in place, and it’s something insurance companies increasingly look for when evaluating cyber liability coverage.

What is MFA? Where should your business be using it? And how can it affect your cyber insurance application?

We break it down in our latest blog. Check it out and use Cybersecurity Awareness Month as a reminder to review your business’s cyber protections. https://www.rathbuninsurance.com/blog/2026/cybersecurity-awareness-month-how-multifactor-authentication-affects-your-cyber-insurance
