University of Kentucky men's basketball head coach John Calipari announced a new initiative Thursday afternoon to bring financial literacy education to children across the Bluegrass with an engaging, interactive game for kids from 4th to 6th grade.
Accompanied by Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear, Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday, Congressman Hal Rogers, Congressman Ben Chandler, UK President Eli Capilouto and EverFi CEO Tom Davidson, Calipari talked about what the initiative means and what it will bring to the youth of the state.
"This has been a vision that my wife Ellen and I have held for several years, and we are excited to be launching a program that will focus on teaching young children the value of saving," Calipari said in a news release. "I applaud the local banks here in Kentucky who have made this possible and encourage others to join me in this endeavor. Together, we are empowering children to cultivate good financial habits that will stay with them throughout their lives."
