In Their Shoes Sponsor

Spotlight on DiBuduo & DeFendis Insurance

Interview with:
Curt Zimmerman, Vice President

Why HAVEN?

Haven as always had a special place in my heart that I really haven’t shared.

My mom was a victim of abuse from my father. They divorced when I was 5. He was a struggling Vietnam Veteran and Prisoner of War so I never really understood his temper and anger issues. My mother raised my older brother and I on her own and was able to provide a great foundation for us.

Curt Zimmerman
Vice President
Dibuduo & Defendis

I want to support single moms in their journey to provide a healthy, happy home for their children. Haven helps to support women who have been victims of domestic violence with counseling services and the support they need to build a foundation for their family.

What would be an unexpected, but delightful result of sponsoring our event?

Wouldn’t it be AMAZING if people were so moved with compassion to ALL contribute and provide a nice charitable donation to help the cause behind Haven? Imagine the outreach and support that your organization could provide in helping more members of the community. I would love to see that as a result of sponsoring your event.

What is your favorite way to unwind after a difficult day?

I’m a BIG family guy. For anyone that knows me, my wife and I are usually at one of our three kids’ sporting events. As they get older and phase out of playing competitive sports, we enjoy watching them mature as young, contributing adults. If I’m not watching them compete, you can find me on the golf range, listening to music and practicing my game.
