Foundation For FSP Paradise Winner Announced

Congratulations to Charles M. Kardon, CLU, ChFC, MSFS, of Dayton, Ohio. Chuck is the winner of a vacation in Paradise. Chuck’s 2009 donation to the Foundation for Financial Service Professionals made him eligible to participate in a drawing for a 7-day vacation for four at Hacienda del Mar in Cabo San Lucas. All 2009 contributions of at least $20 were eligible. The Foundation thanks all its donors and, extends special appreciation to Dickson Buxton, CLU, ChFC, of Novato, Calif., whose generous donation of his vacation home made this drawing possible and helped the Foundation raise over $10,000. A gift to the Foundation makes a difference in the lives of individuals living with Multiple Sclerosis by supporting the Financial Education Partners (FEP) program. FEP utilizes the expertise of FSP members to provide pro bono financial counseling to individuals referred by National Multiple Sclerosis Society (and other charitable entities, such as the American Cancer Society and Habitat for Humanity). Foundation gifts also help sustain other key projects, including:

• Paul Mills Scholarships, given annually to deserving professionals for outstanding leadership, significant contributions to the field of education, and exemplary civic/community service.
• American Business Ethics Awards, widely recognized as the “most prestigious ethics award” in the country, the ABEA honors companies that exemplify high standards of ethical behavior.
