Shown in the photo, left to right, are Allstate agent James Jackson and Coach Joseph Nicolosi. Allstate agent James Jackson, whose office is located at 166 Higbie Lane in West Islip, was recently named an Agent Hero by Allstate Insurance Company's New York Region for awarding a $1,000 grant to a local youth program. Jackson donated a $1,000 grant to the West Islip Girls Lacrosse Booster Club, to help fund scholarship opportunities and summer camp sponsorships for female lacrosse players.

"As an Allstate agent, I believe it is my responsibility to demonstrate the Good Hands Promise in the West Islip community every single day," says Jackson. "It is an honor to be able to donate this grant to the Girls Lacrosse Booster Club and hopefully touch the lives of the youth who are involved."
