”The financial education and tools that the Credit Union provides is invaluable to members of all ages,” said Patrick McPharlin, MSUFCU’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Kids’ Day allows us to provide a fun way to reach our younger members to teach them the benefits of money management and savings and to help them achieve their goals, dreams, and financial wellness from an early age.”
National Credit Union Youth Week serves as a time to teach children financial responsibility through participating in fun seminars, contests, promotions, and other financial education methods. To register for Kids’ Day, please visit www.msufcu.org/specials/youthcontestsandevents.
