SIUE’s Eddie the Cougar appeared at Edward Jones’ headquarters in St. Louis today to highlight the firm’s “Save for Education Day” promotion. In an effort to raise awareness for 529 College Savings Plans, Edward Jones branches across the country recognized May 29 as “Save for Education Day.” The firm-wide holiday is derived from the name of the popular college saving tool.
To remind communities about the importance of setting education savings goals, financial advisors hosted a “529 Day” at their respective branches and dressed in university attire from their favorite colleges or alma maters. Families were encouraged to stop by their local branches to learn more about planning for their children’s educational future.
