Congresswoman Alma Adams will attend a Score A
Better Future Fundamentals teen event to support financial
education for Charlotte’s youth
Global analytics software leader FICO will host three free
credit education events in Charlotte on August 6th. These events
include the Score A Better Future™ (SABF) workshop for adults and,
in partnership with Camino, a Score A Better Future Fundamentals
event for teens on August 6th. The third Fundamentals event will be
a session for the students at the Movement Freedom School on August
6th. These events are designed to provide Charlotte residents with
vital knowledge and resources to enhance their understanding of
their future financial health, including the role of credit and an
overview of the FICO® Score, the credit score used by 90% of top
U.S. lenders to make lending decisions.
In collaboration with Chelsea FC and the U.S. Soccer Foundation,
as part of FICO’s ‘Fields of Financial Empowerment’ tour,
participants of SABF and Fundamentals workshops will get the
opportunity to attend the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match for free,
held after the workshops at the Bank of America Stadium.
Congresswoman Alma Adams will be present at the Fundamentals
session on August 6th to see firsthand the impact of FICO’s
financial education workshop with local teens.
“FICO’s financial literacy events provide a crucial opportunity
to emphasize the importance of financial education. In North
Carolina, where a personal finance course is required for high
school students, learning about credit scores and financial
planning is essential for their future success. The support
provided by FICO's Score a Better Future programs for both students
and adults is greatly appreciated in our community,” said
Congresswoman Alma Adams.
The Fields of Financial Empowerment tour seeks to broaden access
to financial literacy education throughout the United States,
addressing the need to improve understanding of credit and personal
finance through a series of workshops. FICO's Score A Better Future
program educates adult participants on the impact of credit scores
on lending decisions, explains the key components of the FICO
Score, provides strategies for enhancing financial health, and
dispels myths about FICO Scores. The Score A Better Future
Fundamentals program, aimed at teens, teaches the development of
good financial habits and the importance of FICO Scores and credit.
Supported by the U.S. Soccer Foundation and local organizations,
teens attend these workshops to gain essential financial
knowledge.
“We appreciate all our attendees who have shared their
experiences and questions during our sessions, providing us and
others the opportunity to learn about setting and achieving
financial goals,” said Jenelle Dito, Client Services at FICO
Scores. “FICO strives to create a meaningful impact at each of
our stops by supporting local communities through financial
literacy events, leading to improved decision-making and long-term
financial success.”
FICO is committed to broadening the reach of financial literacy
education, equipping communities nationwide with the necessary
tools to help individuals achieve their financial goals.
The Charlotte SABF event, which is open to the public, will give
attendees the opportunity to hear from Money Management
International (MMI) and have an opportunity to set up a free
consultation with MMI to get their FICO® Score, discuss their
credit report, and set a plan to achieve their financial goals.
