- (1888PressRelease) August 17, 2020 - 50/50 Leadership will be hosting a graduation and awards ceremony on Saturday, September 5th, from 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM PDT, to honor the participants of the Financial Literacy Programs virtually with Keynote Presenter Anne Marie Molina, who will speak on Thriving: The Possibility of the Future and Jason Chu who will be entertaining guests with a rap.
50/50 Leadership will be commemorating the graduates of the Financial Literacy Programs, six of which are female and two of which are male from ages ranging 19 to 28 years old. The organization will also be honoring the nine mentors, who all volunteered to guide the participants through their personal finances.
Graduates will have the opportunity to share how the Money 101 program has impacted them and their future and the mentors will also have the opportunity to share a positive experience with their mentees. The mentors will also be receiving a gift for their work.
“It is important to acknowledge the graduates of the Money101 Program” said Pauline Field, Founder and Chair of 50/50 Leadership. “Most of the people who complete it have had very little acknowledgment of their accomplishments throughout their lives, and to have completed this year-long program is, indeed, an accomplishment.”
