It’s Your Life

It’s Not Just Life Insurance

When it comes to fraternal organizations, a person is buying a certificate of membership. Yes, they have a life insurance policy or an annuity, but that is what buys your membership. Because we are a member organization, certain benefits come with that designation. SPJST carries a lot of benefits that come with that membership. There is more value than just a life insurance certificate or annuities.

Children’s Death Benefit

The sadness of losing an infant or caring for an infant in poor health shouldn’t be compounded by financial distress. SPJST’s Newborn Benefit can help ease the financial burden if a newborn passes away between three and 180 days after birth. If one parent is an SPJST member, the family will receive $2,500, and if both parents are SPJST members, the family will receive $5,000 to help with medical or funeral expenses. SPJST must be notified within six months of the child’s passing for the benefit to take effect.

Perkspot

This is a portal to thousands of discounted items from jewelry, to clothing, travel, entertainment, etc. All a member has to do is register for this on our website (under “Benefits”), and they get access. My wife and I will be traveling to Hawaii in August, and the SPJST Perkspot benefit got us 20 percent lower pricing than booking.com, hotel.com, or priceline.com. This benefit alone can save someone more than their premiums every year. If you haven’t registered yet, you need to!

Scholarships

Any student (senior in high school to a sophomore in college) can apply for a scholarship. SPJST has awarded more than $1.5 million in scholarships. Go to spjst.org for details. Imagine a life insurance policy that protects the child — and gives them a scholarship opportunity.

Youth Groups

The children learn responsibility, leadership qualities, and life education. They can earn community service hours that are great for the college resume.

Youth Recognition

Every year, SPJST hosts a statewide Youth Showcase that recognizes children in many categories including creative arts, talent, science, and public speaking. Youth also earn opportunities to represent SPJST at different events throughout the state and ride on floats in parades.

Summer Camps

We offer summer camp opportunities for any youth in kindergarten to 12th grade. This helps build team spirit.

Business Directory

If you own a business or offer a service, you are eligible for a free online listing on our website. You also receive a plaque and stickers advertising yourself as a proud member of SPJST.

And Much More . . .

Bingo, dances, community service opportunities, state tournaments (tarok, dominoes, horseshoes, cornhole, etc.). Plus, getaways, senior living centers, heritage events, and many other life opportunities.
