Good luck with the fundraiser! I am pleased to see that the program fairmont olympic hotel includes financial literacy as a core offering. Our kids, regardless of socioeconomic background, need to learn the difference between needs and wants as well as how to create and maintain a budget. A further recommendation to the organization is to partner with a community bank to offer free accounts. LIttle known fact from Washington University in St. Louis: youth with a savings account in their name are 7X more likely to go to college than similar kids without fairmont olympic hotel an account in their name. That is powerful!
