"Last Word" IMG Delivers The American Dream
Wednesday, December 24, 2008SUZANNE PRATT: And finally tonight, Christmas will come in January for 500 American homeowners. That's when online bank ING Direct will pick up their mortgage payments. The bank held an essay contest and 5,500 customers entered. The winners were those with the most compelling stories of financial hardship. The tab for the mortgage payments comes to more than $860,000 or about $1,700 per household. And, Paul, the gift is being funded in an unusual way. ING employees gave up their annual holiday party to help offset the cost of the contest.
KANGAS: Now that is in the true spirit of giving right there.
PRATT: It certainly is.
