Empowering Independence with RI ABLE
I was honored to speak at the 55th National Federation of the Blind of Rhode Island Convention about the RI ABLE program! This important initiative gives Rhode Islanders with disabilities more tools to save, plan for the future, and build financial independence without jeopardizing essential benefits. I was excited to share that we’re ahead of schedule in growing RI ABLE accounts and preparing to expand eligibility in 2026 to the age of 46, helping even more individuals and families achieve their goals with confidence.

Investing in the Next Generation at
Rhode Island Character Con
This past weekend I attended Rhode Island Character Con with my two children, where CollegeBound Saver was proud to be a sponsor! Hosted by RI Night Market, the event was a wonderful celebration of creativity, culture, and community, bringing together talented artists and passionate fans from across the state. Supporting events like this reflects CollegeBound Saver’s mission to help Rhode Island families invest in their children’s futures because fostering imagination and education today helps build the innovators and creators of tomorrow.
