College planning can feel overwhelming, but one takeaway from our CREATIVE Connect webinar stood out: it’s not just how much you save, it’s how thoughtfully you plan.

A few key takeaways for individuals and families:
• It’s never too early — or too late — to start saving. Planning at any stage can make a meaningful impact.
• There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Most families benefit from combining strategies, rather than relying on just one.
• Understanding your options matters. From savings and gifting to 529 plans and other tools, each approach comes with its own trade-offs.
• Taxes and financial aid eligibility should be part of the conversation — not an afterthought.
• A strong plan accounts for life’s uncertainties, including market shifts, inflation, and unexpected events.

Every family’s path is different — that’s why education planning should reflect your goals, your timeline, and your priorities.

A championship finish to remember at Aronimink.

Aaron Rai captured his first major title at the PGA Championship, pulling away late to finish at 9 under and claim a three-shot victory over a competitive field.

We were lucky enough to witness his defining moment front and center on Sunday at the 17th hole, where Rai drained a nearly 70-foot birdie putt — an incredible shot that all but sealed the win and brought the crowd to its feet.

An unforgettable week of golf, and an incredible experience to be part of at the 2026 PGA Championship.
