Bright Start FREE Day @ Peoria PlayHouse Children's Museum
Apr 6 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Join Peoria Playhouse on April 6 from 9:00 to 4:00 for a free day sponsored by Bright Start, an Illinois’ 529 college savings plan. In addition to free admission, the first 100 children can take part in the Bright Start “Little Savers Crafting Workshop” to decorate and take home their very own piggy bank.

Speak directly with the Bright Start team to have your questions answered and learn how a Bright Start 529 account can help you reach your college savings goals. A 529 plan is a type of investment account that can be used to save for higher education. Illinois families that save for post-secondary education with Bright Start may also receive tax savings benefits. See how easy it is to give your child the gift of education at BrightStart.com.

We hope to see you on April 6 for a fun-filled and educational day!
