For 25 years, NEST 529 Education Savings has helped families prepare for life’s next chapter. To celebrate this milestone anniversary and thank the families who have been part of that journey, NEST 529 launched the 25 Days of Giveaways Sweepstakes on 529 Day.
From May 29 through June 29, participants had the opportunity to enter for a chance to win one of 25 prizes. Beginning June 15, daily winners were drawn to receive prizes designed to inspire learning, exploration, and memorable family experiences.
The sweepstakes was a celebration of families, future possibilities, and the many ways learning can happen both inside and outside the classroom. From family experiences, such as zoo and children’s museum memberships, gift cards, Nebraska sporting event tickets, and NEST 529 account contributions, each prize reflected the spirit of helping families explore, learn, and plan ahead.
In total, over 5,000 entries were submitted during the sweepstakes period, showing the excitement surrounding NEST 529’s 25th anniversary and the dedication families have to saving for their loved one’s future. Thank you to everyone who participated!

A CELEBRATION OF WHAT’S AHEAD
Each winner represents a family thinking about the future and celebrating the possibilities ahead. Whether a prize supports a family outing, a hands-on learning experience, or a contribution toward education savings, the 25 Days of Giveaways Sweepstakes was created to honor the families who make planning for tomorrow fun and meaningful.
For 25 years, NEST 529 has helped families take steps toward future education goals. This anniversary celebration was a reminder that saving for education is about more than planning ahead. It is about imagining what could be possible for the children and loved ones in our lives.
Thank you to everyone who entered and helped celebrate this milestone with NEST 529. Here’s to 25 years of education savings, family dreams, and the many “what if” moments still to come.
As we look ahead to the next 25 years, there’s no better time to begin preparing for your loved one’s future. Open a NEST 529 account today and take the first step toward helping make future education opportunities possible.
