SOUTH HOLLAND | A representative from State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias' office will conduct Cash Dash searches on the state's online database July 10 at Veterans' Park.

The searches coincide with South Holland's Day in the Park festival and take place from 4 to 7 p.m., according to a news release from the treasurer's office. The park is at 160th Place and South Park Avenue.

The Cash Dash program reunites Illinois residents with hidden wealth legally known as "unclaimed property." This wealth can be anything from long-lost bank accounts to entire estates that never made it to a rightful owner.

The treasurer's office is holding $1.4 billion in unclaimed property for 10.2 million residents and businesses. The Cash Dash program aims to give it all back.

In addition, the Treasurer's representative will provide information on saving for college with the Bright Start College Savings Program, buying a home through the Finally Home program and qualifying for low-interest, community and economic development loans through the Opportunity, Cultivate and Employ Illinois programs.
