Murante, NEST 529 Launches Sun-Sational Summer Fun Photo Giveaway

Ten Winners to Each Receive a $2,000 NEST 529 College Savings Plan Account Contribution

Lincoln, Neb. (June 15, 2020)— Nebraska Treasurer John Murante and First National Bank of Omaha today announced the launch of the first-ever NEST 529 Summer Fun Photo $2,000 Giveaway which will award ten randomly-selected winners a $2,000 NEST 529 College Savings Plan account contribution. Open now through September 1, the nationwide contest encourages families to enter a fun summer-themed photo of their child 10 years old or younger, along with a short caption.

“While we are experiencing unprecedented times, summer remains an exciting season for children to soak up the sun and create everlasting memories. I am proud to give families across the country an opportunity to win a big boost to their savings, and to show that saving for college and higher education should be a priority even throughout the summer months,” said Nebraska Treasurer John Murante. “I look forward to seeing how our young scholars are enjoying their summers, and to celebrating the excitement of the season. Best of luck to all who participate!”

NEST 529 is committed to making higher education more accessible to account holders, and regularly holds contests, giveaways and drawings throughout the year to help bolster their savings efforts.

“From barbeques to long days in the sun, the summer season is full of exciting snapshots of fun celebrations. We are thrilled to offer this giveaway and the opportunity for Account Owners to share a window into their favorite summer moments,” said Deborah Goodkin, Managing Director, Savings Plans, First National Bank of Omaha. “We wish everyone throughout the NEST 529 community a wonderful and fun-filled summer. Though students may be on summer break, we hope to continuously spark conversations of higher education planning, while helping to provide a boost to Account Owners’ NEST 529 College Savings Plan accounts.”

WHY FILL OUT THE 2020 CENSUS FORM? 

BECAUSE WE ALL COUNT.

Did you receive a letter from the U.S. Census Bureau yet? If so, be sure to get it filled out and mailed back or you can easily do it online. It only takes a couple of minutes to make a world of difference.

Be sure to have your letter with you when you fill out the form. You'll need the Census ID number on the letter that's assigned to your address. Then go to https://2020census.gov/to complete the form.

Why fill out the form? The information you provide helps the government to determine areas that need federal funding, such as hospitals, food programs, road maintenance, schools, employment opportunities, health-related programs and many others. So you see? This helps you, your family and community.

Another reason to fill it out. IT'S the LAW. Failure to return the form will bring a Census Bureau Interviewer, in person, to your home.

More info can be found here, https://www.census.gov/
