“Even though I earned a college scholarship to play football my wife and I are excited to partner with Path2College to start saving early for our newborn daughter,” said Coleman. “We encourage families just like ours throughout the state of Georgia to be proactive and start saving early with the Path2College 529 plan.”
“Football season is one of the most exciting and anticipated times of the year in Georgia,” added Koenen. “As many parents are sending children off to college, it provides Erik and me with a great opportunity to encourage parents with younger children to start saving early while those children are still in elementary school, or even before they’ve taken their first steps.”
