Chattahoochee Valley Regional Library System
This year, one lucky Summer Reading Program participant will win more than
$5,000 to apply toward their future education. They will also help their public
library in the bargain, as the Path2College 529 Plan once again partners with
Georgia libraries to offer the "Think Big! Save for College!"
Sweepstakes.
The sweepstakes, administered by the Path2College 529 Plan - Georgia's official
529 plan - will also award $1,529 each to the winner's home library, to the
Georgia library with the greatest number of sweepstakes entries and to the
Georgia library system with the greatest percentage of registered users
entering the sweepstakes. The program is now underway and runs through July 31.
"The path to college truly runs through public libraries," said Dr.
Lamar Veatch, Georgia state librarian. "This has been true for 150 years,
and it is even more so now with this most successful and rewarding
collaborative savings plan. We are most pleased to be able to help our state's
young residents plan for their higher education both intellectually and
financially."
The Path2College 529 Plan will conduct a random drawing among all sweepstakes
entries for the $5,529 Path2College 529 Plan account winner in early August.
The winner, along with the winning libraries and winning library system, will
be recognized at a press event in early September. The three $1,529 awards will
be used for the winners' children's and teen's materials and programming.
"The Path2College 529 Plan is pleased to once again partner with Georgia
Public Library Service to offer this annual Summer Reading Program
Sweepstakes," said Georgia Deputy Treasurer Mitch Seabaugh, who oversees
the plan. "We hope this year's sweepstakes brings more children to their
local libraries, where they can learn more about their current interests and
explore new ones while also sharpening their reading skills. We also hope it
helps parents and grandparents better understand that planning for their loved
one's future today increases their chances for higher education tomorrow."
Legal residents of the state of Georgia who are at least 21 years of age and
are a parent, grandparent or legal guardian of any child born in 1996 or after
may enter the sweepstakes online at www.path2college529.com.
Employees, directors, officers, trustees and agents and their respective
immediate household and family members (spouses and children, parents and
siblings and their spouses) of the Path2College 529 Plan and employees,
directors, officers, trustees and agents and their respective immediate
household and family members (spouses and children, parents and siblings and
their spouses) of any Georgia public library or the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia are not eligible.
