Three years ago I did something scary- and thankfully was supported by one beautifully persistent woman, Roxanne Kruger, a genius, Stacy, Augustine, and the greatest diplomat ever known to the cooperative movement, John Annaloro. So it is today, I am incredibly proud to receive a text message with huge news.
The PBS kids financial literacy program we introduced to be underwritten by the largest grant in the history of the National Credit Union Foundation and America's Credit Unions-- was nominated for TWO national Emmy Awards.
I cried tears of joy thinking about the good intentions we had, the promises we kept and the impact credit unions are having on young people across America and internationally.
It's days like these that the sleepless nights of work put into projects like BizKid$ all make sense. I can only hope that a few children out of the millions of viewers learn enough to stay away from high interest credit cards. (smile and coy reference to the American Debt Relief Challenge.)
Get involved:
1. Share Bizkid$ with your kids.
2. If you work at a credit union, underwrite BizKid$. It still needs your support. Conact RoxAnne Kruger or learn more.
3. Talk to your kids about money, don't just charge trips to Disney Land.
Much Love,
Jamo
