At Hands On, we are incredibly grateful for the long-standing support of Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson®) whose dedication to service continues to make a lasting impact in our community. For the 5th year as the presenting sponsor of the Mary Catherine Strobel Volunteer Awards, Jackson continues to play a vital role in celebrating the spirit of volunteerism and honoring those who go above and beyond to serve others.
This year, we are especially inspired by Jackson’s continued commitment to volunteerism.

In 2024, 51% of Jackson associates volunteered, up from 48% in 2023.
This steady increase reflects not only their passion for giving back but also their intentional efforts to integrate service into their company culture.
Their engagement extends beyond traditional volunteer projects—they are strategically focusing on financial literacy and education to empower families and individuals in our community through generous contributions. In 2024, Jackson invested more than $980,000 in financial education and coaching programs and 194 Jackson associates volunteered 941 hours supporting the financial wellness of the communities where their associates live and work. As part of this effort, Jackson has strengthened its partnership with the Financial Empowerment Center (FEC) by supporting Family Financial Literacy Nights in collaboration with Communities in Schools Tennessee and other educational initiatives. These programs provide families with essential tools and resources to navigate personal finance, plan for the future, and build financial stability. By aligning their volunteer efforts with their expertise in financial services, Jackson is making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Their commitment to service, leadership in corporate volunteerism, and unwavering support of Hands On embodies the very spirit of the Strobel Awards—recognizing those who make Middle Tennessee a better place through service.
We are honored to partner with Jackson once again and look forward to celebrating the impact of volunteers across our community.
Thank you, Jackson, for your continued dedication to building a stronger, more financially empowered Nashville!
The 2025 Strobel Awards celebration will take place May 8, when Jackson will join Hands On in announcing the six award recipients. To keep up with the Strobel Awards, be sure to follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter for updates.
