Giving back

Community is the policy we never let lapse

The Bedford Group was built on service. Long before Rudy wrote his first policy, he worked in emergency services in New Jersey and Virginia as a police officer, firefighter, EMT and 911 dispatcher. That instinct never left. Today our team gives time, leadership and resources to the scouts, lodges, chambers and neighbors who make this community home.

Our promise

People. Protection. Possibilities.

The three words on our shield are also how we give back.

PEOPLE

Show up in person

We give our time before our checkbook. That means leading meetings, running events and standing next to our neighbors when it counts.

PROTECTION

Teach preparedness

From first-responder training to hurricane season, we share what we know so families and small businesses are ready before something happens.

POSSIBILITIES

Open doors for others

We mentor young people, connect local business owners and use our platform to tell other people's stories.

Where we serve

Four ways we give back

Youth & scouting

Raising the next generation

Rudy is a pack leader for Cub Scout Pack 147, helping young scouts learn the same values of service and preparedness that shaped his career.

  • Volunteer leadership at den and pack events
  • Challenge coin fundraiser that funds scout activities
  • Hands-on lessons in safety, teamwork and citizenship
Fraternal service

Brotherhood with a purpose

An active Freemason, Rudy led the oldest Masonic lodge in the tri-county area and supports Masonic and Shriners service across Palm Beach County.

  • Lodge leadership and mentoring of new members
  • Fraternal community events and fellowship
  • Trustee, committee co-chair and special advisor for local civic organizations
Local business

Helping Wellington businesses grow

Small businesses are the backbone of Palm Beach County. We put real hours into the groups that help them succeed.

  • Chair with the Greater Wellington Chamber of Commerce and its Ambassador Committee
  • Owner and leader of the Network Lead Exchange (NLX) chapter in Wellington
  • Ribbon cuttings, mixers and member welcomes across the village
Free education

Knowledge anyone can use

Good advice shouldn't depend on whether you buy a policy. We publish free resources for every family and business owner.
