2023 Invested in Giving Back® program winners and
CNO associate Chris Sinito as its Volunteer of the
Year.
This year, 17 nonprofit organizations received a total

and vote for their favorite charities to receive a corporate
philanthropic donation.
"CNO is proud to continue our commitment to positively impacting
our communities," said Chief Marketing Officer Rocco Tarasi. "Now in its fifth year, our
Invested in Giving Back program gives our associates a voice in
helping raise awareness of so many meaningful causes. We are proud
of our associates for supporting local charities where we live and
work through this program."
