COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Building Partnerships • Supporting Community

The state of California has made major budget cuts at our schools, making it particularly difficult to take care of athletic program needs. The AAA School Give Back Program has been designed to give a monetary donation to participating high schools for AAA products purchased by school parents, faculty, and students.

AAA will give $10 to the school when the parent/member gets a AAA Insurance quote (i.e. Auto, Home, Life). In addition, AAA will give the school $50 when the parent/member purchases a AAA Insurance policy through any of our local AAA Sales Agents located throughout the East Bay (please note: $100 max donation per family).
