Esurance, the direct-to-consumer personal car insurance company, today announced that the company donated $50,000 to TheTrevor Project, the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth.

Esurance recently launched the charitable giving campaign on its Facebook page. For each new "Like," the company donated $10 to The Trevor Project to help support the Trevor Lifeline, a 24/7 crisis intervention phone hotline offering free and confidential suicide prevention counseling to youth nationwide.

With Twitter and Facebook support from The Trevor Project itself, and the mentions from celebrities such as Perez Hilton, Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block, and others spreading the word, Esurance quickly reached its stated goal of $50,000.

To thank fans who generously supported the campaign, Esurance created a video tribute that features individual employees from the company's Dallas, Sacramento, San Francisco, Sioux Falls, and Tampa offices. The employees thank the Facebook community for their help in reaching their donation goal, and discuss the company's commitment to The Trevor Project.
