Foundation Financial Group Awards $15,000 to Minnesota Woman

BRAINERD, Minn., Aug. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- When Linda Linquist had a minor car accident last November, she turned to the Internet and began researching ways to make and save more money.

In her search, Linquist stumbled upon the "Funding Your Finances" online sweepstakes sponsored by Foundation Financial Group. Linquist researched the company, and, impressed with Foundation Financial Group's services and reputation, she decided to give its sweepstakes a shot.

Foundation Financial Group presented Linquist with a $15,000 grand prize check on Thursday for winning its "Funding Your Finances" sweepstakes. Foundation Financial Group will award a second $15,000 grand prize in January 2012. While she continues the search for a car, Linquist said she would likely spend the money on a home improvement project that takes priority over a new set of wheels.

Linquist, who was between jobs when she entered the sweepstakes, said the sweepstakes cash was a very pleasant surprise. "I consider myself fortunate," Linquist said. "I really did not expect to win $15,000 in my lifetime. And thanks to Foundation Financial Group, my expectations are exceeded."

Foundation Financial Group launched the sweepstakes in February to thank families for helping make the company one of the fastest-growing financial services companies in the U.S.

"Our goal from day one with 'Funding Your Finances' was to help lessen the financial burdens American families face, and it sounds like we have met our goal," said Foundation Financial Group Chief Executive Officer Mark W. Boyer. "We set out to hold the sweepstakes so we could make a positive impact on someone's life."

There were more than 160,000 entries in the sweepstakes as of the July 1 drawing. The sweepstakes ends Dec. 31, 2011. Foundation Financial Group will announce its second winner after verification and certification. Certain restrictions apply. See rules for details. Participants may also refer friends to the sweepstakes.
