Today is 529 Day! 🎓

A 529 plan is a tax‑advantaged way families can save for future education, whether that’s college, trade school or other qualified education expenses.

The money grows over time, and when it’s used for education, those earnings can be tax‑free. Even small, consistent contributions can add up!

Here’s a simple breakdown of how 529 plans work and what to know. ⬇️

How to save for education.

We spent a lot of time crunching numbers on graphing calculators in school. Now the numbers that matter most are blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and overall cardiovascular risk. Stroke can happen at any age, and knowing your numbers matters.

Back in 2012, Gabe met Manny and Maria at our Superstition Walmart location. What started as a routine member interaction quickly developed into a trusted relationship that has lasted over a decade.

Even when Gabe moved to other branches, Manny and Maria came to see him. While Manny and Maria navigated life changes large and small, Gabe was there to help them with the financial pieces.

Fast forward to the grand opening of the Gilbert Baseline branch, Gabe’s first as branch manager. Naturally, Manny and Maria were there in the front row, beaming with pride.

Because, as Gabe would say, “At the end of the day, people don’t just bank with institutions, they bank with people.” 💙

At just 12 years old, Molly’s world changed in an instant. What began as a sports injury turned into a diagnosis of osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. She would go through 24 rounds of chemotherapy and a surgery at Phoenix Children’s. Through it all, Molly was able to stay on track with her education with 1 Darn Cool School. She explored her love of art, animals and biology with her teachers by her side.

Today, Molly is an 18‑year‑old high school senior who enjoys staying active through golf or backyard badminton, spending time with her family, and binge-watching "Deadliest Catch."
