Sundance Vacations Announces Winner of Mother's Day Cruise Giveaway Contest

WILKES-BARRE, Pa., May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Sundance Vacations today announced that Laura Kraft of Orange County, California is the winner of the Sundance Vacations Mother's Day Cruise Giveaway contest on Facebook. The Mother's Day Cruise Giveaway is the second in a series of contests by Sundance Vacations to give away six free cruises between April and June to Sundance Vacations' Facebook Fans. Laura was nominated by her daughter Julie and chosen as the winner of the free cruise by Sundance Vacations' Facebook community.

"This is the best news we have received all year! My mom is such an inspiration to everyone around her and truly deserves this vacation," said Julie Kraft, Laura's daughter. "Thank you Sundance Vacations for giving me the opportunity to show her just how much I appreciate what she does for our family. She really is my best friend."

Sundance Vacations' Facebook community was clearly touched by Julie's loving and appreciative nomination for her mom. Laura was severely injured in a devastating car accident in 2005 and doctors feared that she might never walk again. However, despite having been diagnosed with diabetes only a few months ago, Laura has persevered and remained positive throughout it all. Currently, Laura works at Angels Stadium, home to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and continues to support and provide for her family in Orange County, California.

"It is easy to see that Julie truly values her relationship with her mom, Laura," John Dowd, President of Sundance Vacations said. "Sundance Vacations is happy that we can contribute to a wonderful Mother's Day experience for Laura by giving her a free cruise, where she and her loved ones can share many memorable experiences."

To nominate someone for one of Sundance Vacations' free cruises, members of the Sundance Vacations' Facebook community simply submit a photo of their nominee and a brief essay that explains why that person should win. The nomination period will last two-weeks for each contest and Sundance Vacations' Facebook friends will have one week to vote for the winner of each contest on the Facebook Fan Page.

Each of the six cruise giveaways is based on a holiday including Teachers and Nurses Appreciation, Armed Forces Appreciation, and Father's Day.
