SAN FRANCISCO, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Esurance, a direct-to-consumer

personal auto insurance company, will sponsor a benefit held by Urban Services

YMCA of San Francisco. The silent auction and wine tasting event will take

John Swigart, Esurance Managing Director and CMO, explained, "Esurance has

been really fortunate to have achieved success in so short a time. This would

have been impossible without the support of our Bay Area community. We're

delighted to be able to support an organization like Urban Services YMCA."

Regarding Esurance's support of Bay Area youth and families, Urban

Services YMCA's Founder, Executive Director, and Vice-President of the YMCA of

San Francisco Association stated, "As we celebrate our 10th year of operation,

Urban Services relies more than ever on partnerships with companies in our

community. These partnerships ensure that every young person in the City has

the tools he or she needs to be successful academically, socially, and

physically. Esurance's sponsorship of this event means that more Mission

District youth this year will develop meaningful relationships with adult

mentors, that more summer literacy programs in Bayview-Hunter's Point will

flourish, and that youth throughout the City will have safe and supportive

places to go during high risk after school hours. We are thankful for

Esurance's support."

Swigart concluded, "As a company headquartered in San Francisco, Esurance

has benefited from the Bay Area's world-class talent and positive, visionary

climate. What better way to give back then to encourage the talents and

potential of San Francisco's youth?"
