Give the Gift of College on #GivingTuesday

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As technologies and modes of communications rapidly change, we are presented with opportunities to look at familiar topics in new and unique ways. Take #GivingTuesday, for example. Following the Black Friday frenzy, the growing awareness of Small Business Saturday, and the uber-popular Cyber Monday, it's heartwarming that a "Giving Tuesday" would evolve as an alternative to the traditional holiday shopping weekend rush.

Thankfully, #GivingTuesday gives us the chance to look at gift giving in new ways. For grandparents, family members, and friends, #GivingTuesday can be the day to give any child a gift for their future. You can participate in this special occasion by giving the gift of college to your loved ones. It's a gift that always fits, never goes out of style, and can positively impact the life of your loved one in many ways for many years. 

CollegeAdvantage makes gift giving easy. Families interested in giving CollegeAdvantage gifts this holiday season can either open an account for their loved one or contribute to an existing account if already opened and owned by a parent, grandparent, or other adult. Accounts can be opened and gift contributions can be made for as little as $25. Learn more at www.CollegeAdvantage.com/give-a-gift

Giving CollegeAdvantage might not be the most exciting gift a child will get this holiday season, but it will be the gift they'll learn to appreciate the most and treasure for a lifetime.
