Citibank Sponsors “Mad About Money,” Reaching 2,500 Students in New Jersey
Newark, NJ – As part of its commitment to financial education, Citibank sponsored 12 performances of the National Theatre for Children’s production of “Mad About Money” reaching 2,500 middle school students in New Jersey the week of April 16-20. Performances were held at Discovery Charter School, Marie L. Barisco-Rogers School, and the Vailsburg School, all in Newark; Frank Conwell Middle School and Academy I in Jersey City, Joseph F. Brandt Middle School in Hoboken, and the Battin Middle School in Elizabeth.
“Mad About Money” is a live theatrical production focusing on the concepts of saving, budgeting, credit and investing. Performed by Greg Parks and Jonah Dill-D’Ascoli, who are professional actors from The National Theatre for Children, the program features characters that appeal and speak to students in grades 6-8. In “Mad About Money,” Parks and Dill-D’Ascoli play a wide variety of colorful characters in four different educational sketches designed to teach: how to prioritize needs and wants, the difference between cash and credit, the important of investing, and forming a savings habit.
Funding for “Mad About Money” performances in New Jersey was made possible by Citibank National Community Relations.
