FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (of interest to editors covering: Financial Services, Corporate Social Responsibility, Colorado Business) Financial Foundation Group - Picking Up the Pieces Financially and Environmentally DENVER, Colo., July 24, 2009 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The first half of 2009 has been an exciting and rewarding year for the representatives of the Financial Foundation Group, also known as FFG. The Financial Foundation Group continues to grow at a very fast pace. As a company, FFG is committed to their employees and the community which helps bring them success. Giving back and creating a team environment outside the office is something that they pride themselves upon. On June 19 representatives of Denver's FFG did not work in the office or with clients, instead they picked up litter along a 2.5 mile stretch of highway 85, or Parker Road, in Parker, Colorado, to help a corporate sponsored program called Adopt a Highway. The budget for cleaning our highways has become limited or nonexistent and Adopt a Highway provides the department of transportation with a resource for getting them clean. Thanks to the corporate sponsors like the Financial Foundation Group, who are willing to support this effort, metropolitan highways in the nation's largest cities are cleaned frequently and have become a source of pride. "I could not believe how much trash was on the side of the road; and how little attention it was given. It was disappointing to realize that people just do not take care of the areas that we live in," Melissa Bowman, Executive Director of FFG, says. "This was a great team building experience, we worked hard, had fun and did something that benefits the environment." In 2002, the Financial Foundation Group through an affiliated company opened its doors with just three people. FFG has experienced a phenomenal growth rate over the past few years and today they have grown to have offices in numerous states, and approximately 75 people affiliated with the organization. "We believe our company has experienced such growth because of our dedication to helping our clients achieve their goals even in these troubling economic times," Ken Perrin, Senior Partner and Founder of FFG, explains. "We have been helping both clients and communities get better regardless of what their current situation is. Helping others is one of the company's core values." The management of the Financial Foundation Group is also registered representatives with, and offers securities through, NEXT Financial Group, Inc., member FINRA, SIPC. Financial Foundation Group is not an affiliate of NEXT Financial Group, Inc. NEXT is a national full service Broker/Dealer offering investment, retirement and insurance products and services which allows their representatives to offer financial products to suit each individual client's needs. The knowledgeable staff at FFG has access to a wide array of investment products and can provide assistance with life insurance choices and providing wealth building strategies.
