No matter the occasion, Spryng can be used to encourage family and friends to give the gift of education.
Birthdays
Everyone loves birthday presents! However, instead of another stuffed animal, video game, or gift card that you forget to use, wouldn’t gifting education be better? Families frequently share their child’s Spryng profile as an easy way for family and friends to give the gift of education.
Graduation
Kids graduate several times before college – preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends will all be more than happy to contribute to education savings especially at a time when they are commemorating a school achievement. Why not celebrate by encouraging more education?

Many of us have friends or family who have experienced tough times. With the weight of overcoming these challenges, picking up the pieces and getting back on their feet, saving for education is not their first thought. Spryng has been used by families, friends and communities to help others save for college during challenging times.
