SIAA, the nation’s leading alliance of independent insurance agencies, began its semi-annual business meeting with A Pink Evening in Boston, an event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). Established in 2017, the initiative has become a cornerstone of SIAA’s philanthropic efforts.

This year’s Pink Evening generated $88,338 — the highest amount raised to date — bringing the total funds raised through SIAA’s Pink Evening events to $476,338.

SIAA Chief Executive Officer Matt Masiello stated, “This is a fantastic event for SIAA and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the funds raised demonstrate, once again, the generosity of our strategic partners, master agencies and staff.”

The 2025 fundraising total included contributions from a Jimmy Fund Walk organized by SIAA staff across the country. The walk raised just over $10,000, which was matched by SIAA.

The SIAA Fall Business Meeting took place from October 14 through October 16 at the Sheraton Boston, drawing more than 330 insurance professionals. In addition to the fundraising achievements, the event marked the launch of SIAA NXT – The Intelligent Distribution Platform, which represents the next step in the evolution of the independent agency distribution channel.
