Financial Futures Now is hosting its very first annual Children’s Business Fair. The event will be held during ‘Financial Literacy Month’, Saturday, April 27, from 10 am – 1pm at the Severna Park Community Center located at 623 Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard, Severna Park, Maryland 21146.
Financial Futures Now (FFN) is an organization dedicated to educating America’s youth on the basic principles of financial literacy and providing them with the skills to become financially free and fiscally responsible adults.
We teach principles like pay yourself first; save early and often; money is a tool to reach your dreams; make money grow by putting it to work for you; and creating financial freedom is a matter of developing the right habits. We also believe that entrepreneurship is an integral part of building and sustaining wealth. Thus, we are hosting a children’s business fair to encourage aspiring young entrepreneurs.
