FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – Even though all the $2.6 million funding isn't quite there yet, the credit union-backed Biz Kid$ financial literacy show on PBS-TV now looks to be a "go" after a contract signing ceremony last week.
"I am so proud of our credit unions," said Washington Credit Union League, President/CEO John Annaloro at the signing with David Chernow, CEO of Junior Achievement Worldwide taking part. The contact allows the immediate startup of production of the half hour show to be aired in January and aimed at improving the financial literacy of middle and high school students.
"The contract initiates a partnership with credit unions to reach four million kids in 178,000 classrooms across America," said the league in a statement. "Final funding needed to complete the project will be raised by state credit union foundations across the country."
