From the Blackboard to The Bank, EverBank Champions Financial Literacy with Impactful Money Matters Student Event
Jacksonville, Fla. - April 12, 2024 –Together, EverBank and EVERFI® from Blackbaud® hosted a successful Money Matters Financial Field Day event, aimed at promoting financial literacy among elementary school students. The event, held on April 11, brought together five Duval County public elementary schools and more than 60 volunteers to engage students in a fun and interactive way.
Two hundred students from the Duval area elementary schools of Pinedale, Reynolds Lane, Rufus Payne, Woodland Acres and Andrew Robinson gathered at EverBank Stadium’s indoor practice facility, where they were divided into groups and rotated through stations, each representing key topics from the students’ Money Matters classroom course.
“We believe the power of education and community engagement is uniquely positioned to empower the next generation with essential life skills,” said Swarup Patra, Senior Vice President and Treasurer for EverBank. “This event provided a dynamic platform for students to learn about financial concepts in a creative, fun and interactive way.”
Through this event, students were able to connect what they are learning in the classroom to real-world experiences. The event utilizes a unique approach, integrating traditional field day games, sport drills and activities to make learning about financial topics enjoyable and accessible for young minds. Through interactive games, students learned valuable lessons about budgeting, saving, investing and responsible spending.
