IFS Outstanding Student Program with the Blue Rocks

For the 7th year IFS is proud to sponsor the IFS Outstand Student Program. The Outstanding Student rewards-based program has been running strong since its inception during the Wilmington Blue Rocks 2003 season. Area teachers nominate outstanding students for a night at Frawley Stadium which includes a reserved seat ticket to a game along with on-field individual recognition, introduction on our RocksVision video board and sound system, official certificate of achievement, and a free hot dog and soda. During one particular Outstanding Student night, the Blue Rocks hosted over 1,000 area children from area schools during a home game. Make sure your outstanding students are not left out! Schools may sign up for the 2010 Outstanding Student Program starting in February.

Teachers are able to get the enrollment form here.

The games will be held 5/24, 5/25, 6/7, 6/8, and 6/9.

May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month

It is not the most fun thing to think about but it is a fact: disabilities do occur and can affect all of us. Here are some sobering statistics:

Three in 10 workers entering the work force today will become disabled before retiring.
Social Security Administration, Fact Sheet January 31, 2007

One in 7 workers can expect to be disabled for five years or more before retirement.
"Commissioners Disability Table, 1998," Health Insurance Association of America, the New York Times, February 2000

Disability causes nearly 50% of all mortgage foreclosures, 2% are caused by death.
Health Affairs, the Policy Journal of the Health Sphere, 2 February 2005

Close to 90% of disabling accidents and illnesses are not work related.
National Safety Council, Injury Facts 2008 Ed.

The good news is that Disability Insurance is available both on an individual basis and a group basis for companies. Moreover, these coverages are extremely affordable. Call us today and ask to speak to a Benefits Specialist about disability insurance at 302.239.2355
