Mercury Insurance Partners With iHeart Radio to Honor Community Heroes

Mercury's 'Community Rockstars' Campaign to Recognize Outstanding Community Members in San Diego Area

LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY) is on the hunt for San Diego's biggest and brightest "Community Rockstars" this summer. The company, in partnership with iHeart Radio, will honor San Diego's most deserving unsung heroes with a VIP prize package truly fit for a rockstar.

The program will honor and recognize San Diegans who have positively impacted their communities and the people who live there. These everyday heroes come from all walks of life — teachers, nurses, social workers, soccer coaches — anyone who gives selflessly to help make San Diego "America's Finest City." 

"Not all rockstars play instruments, sing or perform on stage. Some wear a stethoscope or a whistle and impact lives in a very different way, every single day," said Erik Thompson, VP & CMO of Mercury Insurance. "That's who we are looking for — heroes who usually don't get recognized for their extraordinary day-to-day actions."

Nominations for deserving individuals can be submitted online at iHeart.com/Mercury and selections will be made on a weekly basis. Each honoree will receive a VIP Experience that includes: 

• Tickets to a future show of their choice at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre (NICUA) with premium seats in the Mercury Insurance Sunset Deck
• A $200 gift card
• VIP Parking Upgrade at NICUA
• Their name featured on a video that plays next to the stage
• A chance to appear on iHeart Radio for acknowledgement 

"One of our core values as a company is doing the 'right thing,'" added Thompson. "Community Rockstars is designed to acknowledge those who feel the same way; those who want to make this area a better place to live."
