FREE LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM
Friendly House has been notified of a new program called Life Bridge, sponsored by MassMutual Insurance Company. MassMutual is offering free 10 year life insurance policies for eligible parents/legal guardians. If an insured parent/legal guardian passes away during the 10-year term of the policy, the death benefit will be paid into a trust established by MassMutual for the educational benefit of the children named by the insured. Each term life insurance policy awarded under the LifeBridge program will have a $50,000 death benefit. Benefits will be applied solely toward the education of the insured's eligible children. They will be used to help cover school expenses, including books and tuition.
Applications and information can be found at: http://www.massmutual.com/lifebridge.html. There is also a local person to contact: John Budish Sr. at 309-752-7079.
