BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — On Tues., April 22, Mayor Larry P. Langford will appear at Linn Park to encourage the residents of “The Magic City” to start saving.
To emphasize the event’s focus on financial education, leaders from Birmingham-Southern College, Miles College, Samford University, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) will compete in a charity grab for scholarships. The college and university leaders will go head-to-head in a glass “money machine” to grab flying dollars for their school’s scholarship funds.
The free public event at Linn Park, designed to encourage Americans to start saving, is a sneak peak at the Way2Save Challenge, which features a consumer contest and educational activities to help consumers learn ways to save.
Proceeds from the charity event will benefit the scholarship programs at Birmingham-Southern College, Miles College, Samford University, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
The next Way2Save Challenge Tour will be at the Talladega Superspeedway on April 26 and April 27. Over two days, individuals can take the high-speed challenge of grabbing flying dollars for a chance to win $2,000 — fans can take the Way2Save Challenge before the Aaron’s 312 NASCAR Nationwide Series Race on April 26 and before the Aaron’s 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race on April 27.
