NEW YORK--()--Lexington Insurance, a division of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), and the largest excess and surplus carrier in the U.S., today celebrated the 50th anniversary of its incorporation by hosting a day of giving back at its Boston headquarters.

Approximately 250 employees participated by volunteering at one of three charities, including Stop Hunger Now, for which employees packaged approximately 40,000 meals for those in need overseas. Lexington employees also helped clean and maintain a local park in Boston and assembled back-to-school kits for children as volunteers for The Esplanade Association and Cradles to Crayon, respectively.

Today’s activities are just a few examples of Lexington’s commitment to the local Boston community. Throughout 2014, nearly 200 Lexington employees together volunteered 900 hours benefiting 11 different local organizations. The company also has a 50-year tradition of giving back to the Boston community.

“For 50 years, Lexington has built its reputation on a foundation of serving our customers, a commitment to long-term relationships in the market, and as important, giving back to the community,” says Jeremy Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lexington Insurance. “We’re very much part of AIG’s tradition of serving our customers and the communities where we operate.”

As a company, AIG last year saw a 76 percent increase in volunteer hours served during its Global Volunteer Weeks. Employees from 46 countries participated in 324 community service projects, volunteering more than 23,500 hours of their time.
