Washington, DC -- The U.S. Treasury Department and the American Bankers Association Education Foundation once again partnered for the 12th annual Teach Children to Save Day. Fourteen Treasury department officials and staff members, including CDFI Fund Director Donna Gambrell and staff Jamie Davenport and Erin McKevitt, volunteered their time on April 29th to teach America's elementary and high school students the importance of saving.

This is Treasury's fifth year participating in Teach Children to Save Day, when bankers and Department officials and staff connect with students in classrooms and after-school programs to share "real life" lessons about money.
