HAMILTON — Safeco Insurance has donated $5,000 to Great Miami Valley YMCA in Hamilton in recognition of the nonprofit organization’s work furthering healthy living programs for children and adults in the community.

Safeco’s contribution was presented to Great Miami Valley YMCA by Safeco agent Stephan C. Sullivan of United Heartland Insurance Agency. Sullivan nominated Great Miami Valley YMCA’s Activate Butler County Ohio program for an award through Safeco’s Agent Giving Program, according to a news release.
