Fifth Third Gives Families a College Savings Head Start for 'Fifth Third Day'
CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--More than 80 newborns across metro Detroit and southwest Florida entered the world on Saturday with a leg up for future financial success, thanks to a partnership between Fifth Third, the Gift of College and participating local hospitals. Fifth Third (NASDAQ: FITB) presented the new parents with care packages that include a $1,053 gift card for a 529 College Savings Plan, a DoorDash gift card, and baby gifts such as a onesie, bib, blanket and book. Labor & delivery nurses at participating hospitals also received appreciation gifts from Fifth Third. Fifth Third Babies is part of a broader national celebration: on May 3, celebrated as " Fifth Third Day," Fifth Third's nearly 19,000 employees mark the occasion with a day of volunteerism and giving to help improve the communities where they live and work across Fifth Third's 11-state footprint. 'It is a privilege to welcome the newest members of our community on this important day for Fifth Third. We believe strongly in increasing financial access and mobility in the communities we serve to create brighter financial futures for the next generation,' said Fifth Third Eastern Michigan Regional President David Girodat. 'And as a father and grandfather, I know how important it is to support parents by giving them a head start on saving for their children's educational future." Since 2017, Fifth Third Babies has delivered more than $730,000 in 529 plan funding to the families of nearly 700 babies born on 5/3 through partnerships with 125 hospitals across seven states. Nineteen hospitals in total across Detroit, Fort Myers and Naples participated in the program this year. Each family with a baby born on 5/3 received a gift bag with a $1,053 gift card that allows them to open a 529 college savings account in partnership with the Gift of College. Parents can redeem the certificate into their state 529 plans. "We are thrilled to bring the Fifth Third Babies initiative to Collier and Lee counties," said Stephanie Green, Fifth Third South Florida regional president. "This tradition is a heartfelt way to welcome newborns into the world with a special touch from Fifth Third. Beyond the celebration, it's about helping families begin planning for their children's financial futures from day one. Fifth Third believes strongly in increasing financial access and mobility in the communities we serve to create brighter financial futures for the next generation. We are proud to continue supporting our community in such a personal and lasting way." "Starting the saving and investing process when a child is brand new gives the money plenty of time to grow—and provides parents and others countless opportunities to contribute during the 18 years which follow," said Patricia Roberts, chief operating officer of Gift of College, mom of a recent debt-free college graduate and author of 'Route 529: A Parent's Guide to Saving for College and Career Training with 529 Plans.' 'In addition to friends and family being able to contribute for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions, employers are able to make 529 plan contributions as a financial wellness benefit. 'As a mom who's been there, I know the value of starting the savings process early and the many doors educational savings can open down the line. I immediately began sleeping better at night once I knew we had a plan in place for our child's future. Looking back, opening a 529 account when our child was an infant was one of the smartest decisions we made.'
