Make a Difference in Economic Education

I was recently nominated to the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Council on Economic Education (“NCCEE”).  The NCCEE is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that enhances economic and financial education for NC teachers and students by providing staff development and curriculum for teachers and sponsoring statewide competitions for students.  As a board member, it is my responsibility to secure at least  $1,000 in funding before September 15.  For $250, you can sponsor a full day of training, including curriculum, for an NC teacher.  For $150 you can sponsor the participation of 10 teams of students (up to 50 students) in the Stock Market Game (“SMG”) program which is a 10 week long stock market simulation where students work in teams to grow their portfolios while competing against their peers across the state.  A contributor may also provide general operating support as well, in any amount you feel comfortable giving ($10, $25, $50, etc). I would appreciate your help in supporting these programs.  If you choose to contribute, please let me know how much support you plan to provide so that I can keep a tally of the amount I have raised.  In order to simplify the process for you, I have included a link to the NCCEE’s web page which allows you to make a tax deductible, secure, online contribution.  If you prefer to have an invoice mailed to you just let me know and I’ll make sure you get one.  http://www.nccee.org/HowToContribute.htm

Thanks for your help!
