FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 19, 2014
NORTHERN ALBEMARLE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
SPONSORS FINANCIAL LITERACY PROGRAM FOR AREA YOUTH
The board of advisors of the Northern Albemarle Community Foundation (NACF) sponsored a financial literacy program for the youth of Girls Inc.
NACF board members Becky Elliott with First Citizens Bank and Russ Hull with Whichard & Woolard, Wells Fargo Investments conducted an hour-long training session for 15 summer campers.
“Savings and Investments” was the focus of the presentation. The children were taught lessons on the importance of saving, necessary and optional spending and investing.
Hull said he was impressed with the girls’ initiative. “The girls really were able to grasp the information we were providing to them and using companies they are familiar with as examples was key to their understanding,” Hull said.
Joyella Farring, Girls Inc. executive director was appreciative of the program, “Girls Inc. is so very fortunate to be included in the financial literacy program,” she said. “We appreciate the Northern Albemarle Community Foundation for making the effort to sponsor this educational opportunity.”
The Northern Albemarle Community Foundation is an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation. The community fund was established to help support local charitable needs through annual grants. In addition to Hull and Elliott, Northern Albemarle Community Foundation board members are: Kathryn Scott, president, Becky Phelps, Reba Green-Holley, Mayor Joe Peel, Kathy Leary, Quincy Tharps and Christie Quance.
