🎵 Put on your blue suede shoes! 🎵

Last night, team members from our Keene, NH region attended the 2026 Keene Sentinel Choice Awards Ceremony, and we had a blast embracing the Sock Hop theme!

We're honored to have been recognized with Gold in both Insurance and Financial Planning for the second consecutive year. This recognition reflects the support and trust of our clients, community members, and partners, and we are grateful for each of you.

Thank you to everyone who voted and continues to place their confidence in our team. We are proud to serve our communities and remain committed to helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate their needs!

TRG's First I Make a Difference Day--

We’re proud to share that this year marked our first-ever I Make a Difference Day—and we showed up ready to give back.

Our team hosted a cookout and food drive supporting two incredible Vermont organizations: Project Feed the Thousands in Brattleboro and HOPE —Helping Overcome Poverty's Effects in Middlebury—both working to fight food insecurity across our communities.

With over 50 volunteers across two locations, we came together and made quite an impact. It wasn’t just meaningful—it was memorable. The rain came down hard, but so did the dedication.

As new IMA partners, we’re beyond grateful to be backed by a team that makes meaningful work like this possible.

For our first I Make a Difference Day, we hope we made a splash—outside of just the puddles 💧

Members from our Keene team were thrilled to support the Greater Monadnock Collaborative’s Annual Chamber Gala again this year.

We believe in showing up and celebrating the places we live and work—supporting, growing, and helping to build strong & positive communities for the future.

It was an especially meaningful evening witnessing one of our own recognized in such a powerful way.

Congratulations to our friend & colleague, John Round on being named 2026 Citizen of the Year! An incredibly well-deserved honor that reflects the impact he makes both inside and outside of our organization.

Last week, our team had the opportunity to sponsor the Dartmouth vs. Quinnipiac game—and what a night it was! From a lively pregame gathering to an electric atmosphere in the arena, the event was a wonderful reminder of the community spirit that makes partnerships like this so meaningful.

A sincere thank‑you to Big Green Sports and Dartmouth Sports for their collaboration and hospitality. Their team consistently creates memorable experiences, and we’re proud to support events that bring people together and celebrate the best of collegiate athletics.

TRG & The Richards Family have proudly supported Brattleboro’s iconic Harris Hill Ski Jump for decades—a tradition dating back to 1922 and home to the region’s only Olympic‑caliber 90‑meter jump.

A favorite memory from this year: Pete Richards and his son Henry taking in the thrills together. Community moments like this are what make Harris Hill a true local treasure. Harris Hill Ski Jump
