Martha's Table Education Program Gets "Schooled" in Sports Finance
Washington (PRWEB) August 01, 2013 -- SugarTime, Inc. in partnership with Youthful Savings deliver creative curriculum incorporating the professional sports industry to children participating in the Martha’s Table Education Program. The sports-centered activities take place Aug. 6 and 8, with additional events Aug. 7.
David Sugarman, NBPA Certified Player Agent and SugarTime, Inc. founder, joins forces with Somya Munjal, Youthful Savings Managing Director to develop a fun and interactive way to educate children about the importance of saving, planning for the future, entrepreneurship and personal development. Sugarman, along with retired NBA player Kenny Anderson and a current NBA athlete are there to interact with the children, while driving home the core concepts behind Youthful Savings.
“I’m honored to have SugarTime taking part in the Martha’s Table Education Programs as a guest of Youthful Savings,” said Sugarman. “Education about financial literacy, saving, planning…etc. is what I preach to my athletes every day. This outlet gives us the opportunity to give back and spread our word even further.”
“We are excited to have a sport component to the curriculum this year,” said Munjal. “I think the children will really enjoy listening to the speakers and stay engaged in the conversation. It also makes the dinner even more of an event knowing that the SugarTime team will be our guests.”
On Aug. 7, SugarTime, along with other community supporters visit Martha’s Table for the Youth Owned Bazaar (6-7 p.m.) and Youth Dinner (7-9 p.m.). The Youth Owned Bazaar and Networking hour, managed by Adam Mastrelli, offers the youth an opportunity to sell products to guests. The Youth Dinner is an opportunity for the youth to make and serve food to members of the community, guests and other Martha’s Table supporters. The menu is planned and supervised by Chef Demetrios Recachinas. The Director of the Martha’s Table Older Youth Program, Tim Jones, says, “We are excited for our kids to see an example of sports and education coming together.”
These events are part of a summer long financial literacy program created by Youthful Savings and National Financial Educators Council. “Collaborative campaigns help to expand the reach and impact of financial literacy programming. We appreciate the efforts of Youthful Savings, Martha’s Table and SugarTime, Inc. to create a win-win for the kids served,” states Vince Shorb of the National Financial Educators Council.
