GradSave Sponsors $5,000 Children’s College Fund Sweepstakes

MIAMI - July 18, 2013 - PRLog -- GradSave, the leading college savings registry is excited to announce the $5,000 Children’s College Fund Sweepstakes that will go towards a 529 college savings plan. There is no purchase necessary; parents can simply visit the entry page http://gradsave.com/sweepstakes for a chance to win. The sweepstakes is unique in that bonus entries are awarded for sharing and encouraging other families and parents to save for college! The sweepstakes runs from July 11^th – December 31^st, 2013.  One winner will be announced on or about January 30, 2014 via random drawing.

This is the second sweepstakes that GradSave has sponsored in it’s continued mission to raise awareness of the importance of saving for college early and giving parents the tools to save for their child’s future by using the crowd-funding model. Michael Albanese, last year’s $10,000 Scholarship Sweepstakes winner, was over-joyed when he found out he had won this amazing prize, which will be going to his 1 year old daughter, Asher’s 529 College Savings Plan. Michael tells GradSave “The gift of education is invaluable. With all of the economic uncertainty our generation faces, it is almost unfathomable to know what our daughter’s generation will face 18 years from now, not only culturally, but educationally. This scholarship means so much because it gives us a real, measurable – and significant - start toward her education. This scholarship means we can confidently and aggressively continue adding to these funds. And what that means is we can start working towards a true peace of mind as opposed to panic and anxiety closer to her high-school graduation.  We are incredibly thankful for the generous and unexpected scholarship.  It is a blessing and a real opportunity for our daughter.”

Giving a child the gift of education is the greatest gift which will benefit them their entire lives, GradSave believes it’s revolutionizing the way people save for college and will give more children a chance to achieve their dreams one gift at a time.
