Sammy Rabbit Kids Open Custodial Bank Accounts
Twenty-four children have completed the Sammy Rabbit Money School Program! They took the course at one of two locations: The Santa Maria Boys and Girls Club or the Olga L. Reed Elementary School in Los Alamos. (Five more Sammy Rabbit Money School locations will be opening in July!) Completing this course allows each child to open up custodial bank accounts. By the end of June, half a dozen kids had opened their accounts, and started their Savings Challenge in the Saving for Tomorrow program! This gives not only these kids, but also their families, a road to financial wellness.
The Sammy Rabbit Money School, coupled with the United Way Today 4 Tomorrow Savings Challenge, changes the futures of local families as community partners work with us to build these success stories.
