In Michigan, we take rivalries seriously—especially with Ohio. But this year, the challenge isn’t about touchdowns. It’s about helping residents reconnect with their forgotten funds.

It’s fast. It’s free. It’s your money. Why not claim it?

How can one minute create real change?

When someone finds $200 in forgotten funds, that’s groceries for the week. That’s peace of mind. That’s a win.

And all it took… was a 60 second search.

Why not look?
