Special Events
DC Saves hosted its first annual Financial Literacy Fair at THEARC on April 5. Read the Press Release.
Fair participants enjoyed FREE tax help, met one-on-one with credit counselors, received information from financial institutions, and participated in no-strings-attached mini-sessions with DC Saves and Certified Financial Planners, and were even able to open new accounts.
Fifty exhibitors, counselors, volunteer tax preparers, and Certified Financial Planners participated in this inaugural event that drew over 150 attendees. The Fair featured special appearances from Sammy the Rabbit and Emcee Taylor Thomas—host of WHUR’s Let’s Talk Money—led prize giveaways, including our first DC Saves $100 savings bond drawing. One excited attendee noted that “It would have taken months to get all the information I received at the event—it’s great to have all of these resources together in one place.”
Special thanks to all our exhibitors and event sponsors. The event could not have been possible without their generous support and we look forward to an even bigger and better Financial Fair next year!
