Congratulations to all of the sponsoring organizations,
volunteers, parents, and most of all, youth savers that participated in
Virginia Saves 3rd Piggy Bank Pageant and Photo contest.
As we celebrate and promote financial literacy initiatives
in April each year, Virginia Saves appreciates the work by our educators,
community volunteers and family to help teach youth on the benefits of saving.
These life lessons are important for all of us as we seek to help families
and communities become financially fit.
