Chicago, IL - A national initiative designed to motivate youth to save and
manage money is being piloted in our community through Vennmedia. As part of
America Saves Week 2020 (February 24-February 29), Vennmedia will enroll
low-income residents and potential savers and spread the message of savings.
As part of America’s Week 2020, Vennmedia will conduct
several different activities that will consist of a 30 days of savings
challenge, a twitter storm, and a sweepstakes contest. The 30-day savings
challenge will involve participants saving at least $100 in 30 days by
following a daily savings chart they receive upon registering for the event.
Participants will also receive weekly emailed savings messages, updates on
America Saves events and a free eBook. The twitter storm part of the activities
will be held on February 29, 2020 at 9am. Vennmedia will blast Twitter with
#ASW20 content for an hour to raise the visibility of the Week and engage more
individuals in the topic of saving. The America Saves sweepstakes will give
participants an opportunity to win between $500 to $750 by taking the Vennmedia
Saves Pledge, making a simple savings plan to reach a goal and sharing their
story on social media.
This financial action program will be a compliment to the
financial education currently being provided by Vennmedia, allowing education
to be put into action.
