Denver, CO (PRWEB) December 16, 2013
SavingsFund was created by the National Financial Educators Council to address our children’s inherited financial crisis. Families can proactively help their child to start to save for college and long-term financial security needs with the help of friends and loved ones on the SavingsFund crowdfunding platform.
SavingsFund is a gift giving platform that allows friends and family to contribute to a child’s long-term savings plan and education. Instead of a traditional toy or other gift for birthdays or holidays, loved ones can choose to provide a financial gift that can provide future benefits for the child.
"One of the features I like most about SavingsFund is that as the child's money grows, their knowledge of personal finance topics grows," states Jayne Black the mother of 6 children and the current Mrs. Wisconsin International 2013. “Love that it's for more than college savings and encompasses a home purchase and a focus on financial security.”
As Edward Siedle states in a March 2013 Forbes article, “We are on the precipice of the greatest retirement crisis in the history of the world.” The decline of pension plans, the severe reduction in SSI benefits and higher tax burdens are things today’s youth can look forward to. Starting a consistent investment plan at a young age may help.
The NFEC developed SavingsFund as part of their social enterprise business model. The service and the financial education curriculum is complimentary for families receiving gifts. SavingsFund was designed to help families start to save money early while providing their children a timely financial education.
The NFEC partners with celebrities and positive influential role models to raise awareness for the financial literacy movement. The NFECs’ Financial EduNation Campaign provides financial literacy resources, tools and training to assist schools and non-profit organizations to share the message of financial literacy with people in their community.

The Cosmetic Laser Center Sponsors Mrs. Midwest International 2014!

I am thrilled to announce that The Cosmetic Laser Center is my exclusive sponsor for all my cosmetic needs as Mrs. Midwest International 2014! I am completely impressed with the owners Aaron & Cherie Gabrielse
they are very rare in that they personally do all the treatments themselves. The Cosmetic Laser Center has 8 locations in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Chippewa Falls, Sparta, Wausau, Marinette. I had my first appointment today and Aaron evaluated my skin and made a personal plan for me and my unique skin issues. All of us have some similar and unique skin issues but so many of them can be treated effectively with several different types of treatments that The Cosmetic Laser Center takes pride in being able to provide people with. I struggled to find someone I could trust to help me take care of my skin. I also was concerned because there are lots of places that do laser treatments but to find someone who has the training, knowledge and experience is not easy! After visiting The Cosmetic Laser Center's website and reading their blog and testimonials I was really impressed and today after meeting with the owner Aaron I was even more put at ease and impressed! I do have real hope that I will be seeing an improvement in my skin concerns and in the rosacea I have. The treatment I had today is called Endymed you can read more about that treatment here:  http://www.cosmeticlasercenterswi.com/endymed-3deep-pro/  All I felt during this treatment was warmth on the skin it actually was relaxing! In three weeks I will go back to have my first laser treatment for Rosacea and another Endymed treatment. Aaron and I will tracking my results via pictures and doing a video diary that will be released in late July. Over 14 million people have Rosacea and it can be frustrating but there are treatments that can help which The Laser Center provides. Watch my blog posts for my treatment journey and visit The Laser Center Website to read more about how to keep your skin beautiful!  http://www.cosmeticlasercenterswi.com/
