PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- To help raise public awareness of the need for life insurance protection, Lincoln Financial Group is supporting Life Insurance Awareness Month for the month of September in conjunction with The Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE) — a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping consumers make smart insurance decisions to safeguard their families' futures.
"We're committed to raising awareness and helping educate Americans about the value of life insurance – it should form the foundation of any financial plan," said Mark Konen, President, Insurance & Retirement Solutions. "For more than 100 years, our flexible life insurance solutions have been helping our customers protect their lifestyles and face their financial futures with confidence."
"Life insurance benefits can help grieving loved ones by addressing the financial burdens that the sudden loss of a wage-earner can bring to a family," said Sandra Callahan, Senior Vice President, Group Protection Operations. "It can make the critical financial difference for people facing credit card bills, outstanding loans, even a mortgage. It also can help ensure children have the opportunity to go to college or help fund a secure retirement for the surviving spouse."
"Life insurance can also offer a powerful way to maximize assets and help people accomplish more with their resources," added Michael Burns, Senior Vice President, Individual Life Product Management. With tax advantages and flexible options, life insurance can also help provide financial protection for a business, provide supplemental retirement income, and can offer efficient wealth transfer solutions.
Lincoln is a supporter of LIFE, a group of prominent financial industry and advocacy organizations that have joined together to raise public awareness of the need for comprehensive financial planning. The main topics LIFE addresses in its educational efforts are life, disability, long-term care and health insurance with the goal of helping consumers better understand these products and where they fit within their overall financial plans. In partnership with LIFE, Lincoln Financial is helping to raise awareness of Life Insurance Awareness Month in September.
