Money Smart Week!

Posted on April 12, 2013 by

April 20-26

Money Smart Week® is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including businesses, financial institutions, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, government agencies and the media.  The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting their events April 20 – 27, 2013.

Sat. April 20, at 10AM

Watch Be a Money Smarty Live at http://www.dptv.org/moneysmarty    

The Be a Money Smarty! presentation will be delivered in a high-energy ‘lightning round’ fashion, where 4 recognized experts ‘leave it all at the podium’ and share their ‘top 5 tips’ in just 10 minutes. Hosted by veteran television talent, Christy McDonald, this program will now be made available live, in real-time, via web stream, at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 20th.  More information…

Now through April 26

The 2013 Money Smart Week Scavenger Hunt is a FREE, nationwide, photojournalistic, scavenger hunt that uses the Scavenger Hunt with Friends mobile application. All of the tasks require participants to demonstrate how they are financially savvy. More information can be found at www.moneysmartweek.org/hunt. The hunt starts April 1st and runs through April 27th. Instead of collecting physical items, participants upload photos of the found items using the Scavenger Hunt with Friends mobile app. Happy hunting!
