Back To Blog

The Cleveland Indians and Ohio's 529 Plan, CollegeAdvantage, again teamed up in 2021 to help Cleveland-area families hit a home run for their higher education goals.

One lucky Indians fan received a grand prize of a $10,000 college savings award to load the bases for their existing CollegeAdvantage Direct 529 account.

The 2021 Grand-prize winner, Cathy Herston and her family joined Ohio's 529 Plan and the Indians for an award presentation at the Sunday, Sept. 26, 2021, game against the Kansas City Royals. Enjoying the game with Cathy was her husband, Mike; one of her sons, Matt; her sisters Julie Belenski and Carey Watchel. Carey's husband, Ron, and father-in-law, Wayne Watchel, and Julie's daughter, Tara Koontz, also attended the game.

The first, second, and third runners-up each received four tickets each to a 2021 Cleveland Indians Game and an autographed Indians item.

Here's the list of the four Indians fans who were randomly selected as winners:

Grand-prize winner: Cathy Herston

First runner-up: Lauren Fisher

Second runner-up: Tasha Bastian

Third runner-up: Rochelle Kaplow
