Your year-end support: 800 teens (and counting)
Your generosity through the end of 2015 has been remarkable! We're still tallying the final numbers but we can safely say that your gifts from November and December will empower more than 800 teenagers with financial literacy resources.
One of those teens who has already made some life-changing moves with money is Darius, a Money Coach alum. |

In Memoriam: Airel Louis Mitcham
 |
It is with great sadness that we closed out 2015 with the passing of Airel Mitcham. Airel was not only dedicated to his wife, Monica Thompson, and extensive family, but gave tirelessly to his community.
Among his civic roles, Airel was a beloved classroom volunteer and Money Coach with Make A Difference - Wisconsin. His lively classroom lessons will not be forgotten by our organization or the many teens whom he impacted.
