From Rainbow PUSH: Rainbow PUSH and Chevrolet have partnered to present a financial empowerment program series entitled Money Matters. This is an innovative and engaging national program designed to help educate youth and young adults between the ages of 18-35 on the topics of money management, credit, debt, college financing and investing. Program attendees will be able to learn from nationally known expert speakers and the knowledge and skills gained from attending the workshops will provide attendees with a greater sense of empowerment and financial freedom that they can tap into as they continue to build their lives and communities.
Our first event had a successful turnout and now we would like ATLANTA to take advantage of this free event on October 31 from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. All attendees who register and attend the event will be eligible to win a free Google tablet.
Lunch will also be provided.
