About the Challenge
Embrace Pet Insurance presents the fourth annual EmbraceCLE Community Challenge, a community fundraising competition where select local charities compete to raise the most money for their non-profit. In addition to keeping any money raised for their charity, the top organizations will walk away with cash prizes from Embrace Pet Insurance.

About Embrace Pet Insurance
Founded and based in Cleveland, Ohio, Embrace Pet Insurance is built on the belief that pet parents should not have to choose between their pet’s health or proper medical care. While healthy, happy pets are the heart of Embrace’s mission, the families that surround them are equally important.
Embrace is committed to giving back to the community that has helped them thrive throughout the years. We believe in opportunity and growth – and the first step is watering the roots.
