CASHFLOW For Girls Financial Literacy Program

We are so pleased to partner with Sam's Club and Rich Dad, Poor Dad to offer a financial literacy program for young girls. This effort is part of our 10th anniversary programming and through it we hope to pass on some of the tools needed to be financially savvy and economically independent.


The event will take place in the following cities: Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Miami, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Raleigh, San Antonio, San Diego, Secaucus, St. Louis, Syracuse, Toronto [CA]

from our press release...
The Women Presidents' Organization (WPO), Sam's Club and WPO member Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, will encourage financial literacy by hosting a CashFlow for Girls event on June 5 at 3 p.m. at 13 Sam's Club locations in North America. The event will teach young girls financial literacy by playing the game CASHFLOW For Kids developed by the Rich Dad Company. The game was created to teach key principles of savings, finance and money management in a fun and non-intimidating way that fosters learning by repetition and re-enforcement. Each girl will receive a game in return for a promise to teach 10 other girls how to play the game. Participants will also receive a copy of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens' and 'Rich Dad Poor Dad.'
