Piper Jaffray to Participate in National Teach Children to Save Day
MINNEAPOLIS, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Piper Jaffray &
Co., a focused securities firm, will participate in National Teach
Children to Save Day Thursday, April 22. This is the fourth year
Piper Jaffray has participated in the program that was originally
developed by the American Bankers Association Education Foundation
in 1997. Piper Jaffray has developed its own fun and interactive
curriculum to present to children in fourth and fifth grades. The
program was developed to introduce the important concepts of saving
and investing money at an early age. Approximately 60 Piper Jaffray
employees will visit over 70 classrooms across the United States on
National Teach Children to Save Day. "Piper Jaffray is committed to
our communities and helping students develop skills regarding
saving at an early age," said Paul Grangaard, head of Private
Client Services business of Piper Jaffray. "National Teach Children
to Save Day introduces the concepts of saving, spending and sharing
money, which are three necessities to a healthy financial future
for today's young people." During the presentation, Piper Jaffray
employees will introduce financial basics by using a brainteaser as
well as introducing the concepts of stocks and bonds through
interactive exercises. Finally, the children receive a Moneybox,
which has three sections -- saving, spending and sharing. "The
Moneyboxes are a great tool to show children there is more than
just spending money, that they can also use their money to help
others in their community," said Grangaard. Headquartered in
