Piper Jaffray to Participate in National Teach Children to Save Day
MINNEAPOLIS, April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Piper Jaffray &
Co. will participate in National Teach Children to Save Day on
Tuesday, April 26. This is the fifth year Piper Jaffray has
participated in the program that was originally developed by the
American Bankers Association Education Foundation in 1997. Piper
Jaffray has developed its own fun and interactive curriculum to
present to children in fourth, fifth and sixth grades. The program
was developed to introduce the important concepts of saving and
investing money at an early age. Nearly 60 Piper Jaffray employees
will visit 55 elementary schools across the United States in
conjunction with National Teach Children to Save Day. "For more
than a century, Piper Jaffray employees have been integrally
involved in the communities in which we live and work," said Andrew
Duff, chairman and chief executive officer of Piper Jaffray.
"Teaching children how to save, spend and share their money is a
great way for us to help our kids achieve a solid financial footing
in the future and make their own community contributions." During
the presentation, Piper Jaffray employees will introduce financial
basics by using a brainteaser as well as introducing the concepts
of stocks and bonds through interactive exercises. Finally, the
children receive a Moneybox, which has three sections: saving,
spending and sharing. "The Moneyboxes are a great tool to show
children there is more than just spending money, that they can also
use their money to help others in their community," said Duff.
