After 8 long months, football season is upon us, and with it comes traditional tailgates and good old fashioned get togethers at your home. Regardless if you’re a Bengals fan or a Browns fan it’s important to know you are covered for those unexpected events and we’re not talking about Cleveland winning. Are you protected if your neighbor trips and falls in the living room while celebrating a touchdown? What happens if someone is injured on the grill? Good insurance coverage is your defense for potential liability claims against you. Don’t get caught off guard without these key coverages.
​
Homeowner Insurance policies have a coverage called Medical Payments to Others. This coverage is designed to pay medical expenses to guests who are injured in your home regardless of who’s at fault. This limit is usually anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000. Homeowner’s policies also offer liability coverage.  This covers incidents you are legally responsible for. These limits are much larger and tend to be anywhere from $100,000 to $500,000. You can extend your liability limits to $1 million and above with the purchase of an Umbrella Policy. The extra Umbrella protection on average cost around $160 a year.

​This was a busy weekend for Buckner Insurance! Charity kickball on Saturday and then presenting sponsor of the 1st Annual Jim Cleamon’s Celebrity Outing Pairing Party on Sunday, followed by the Golf Outing on Monday.

We love our community and we love to be involved, so this was a weekend we were very excited about. The pairing party was held in Dayton at Top of the Market. Our front girl Brittany won 2 signed basketballs in the silent auction! We also had 2 teams that played in the outing.

Here are some photos from the party and the outing. We ran into our favorite home builders from Catalyst Homes. If you haven’t already, you have to check them out. Their homes are gorgeous. And everyone knows our friend Eric from Flyin’ To The Hoop. He’s a celebrity himself! 

Every year, the Young Professional Groups around the area get together and compete in a sporting event to raise money for a local charity of choice. Buckner Insurance has had the opportunity to be one of many sponsors to this event for the 2nd year in a row.

The Buckner girls not only competed in this year’s tournament, they also helped plan and organize it with the Young Professionals at Austin Landing. Kelsey and Brittany actually serve on the YPAL board.

This year’s event was a kickball tournament to benefit Crayons to Classrooms!! The Buckner girl’s team did not win, but they had a great time being involved. We are looking forward to next year’s event.

If you are interested in joining a young professionals group, there are so many amazing ones around here like the Young Professionals At Austin Landing, Springboro YP, Dayton Sportcial, and Generation Dayton. Great networking opportunities as well as charity. Until next year YP cup! 

​We are so happy that some of our favorite Springboro businesses have asked us to team up to collect school supplies!! We already have a box half-filled!! You guys are the best and so are these businesses!!
