As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, we reflect on the incredible journey of our Fall tour. With 28 shows across 27 cities and towns in 8 states, this fall has been a whirlwind of music, education, and community connection. We are beyond grateful for the opportunity to reach over 9,600 students and bring valuable lessons on economics and financial literacy to classrooms across the country.
One of the highlights of this tour was the opportunity to engage with schools that have a high need for educational resources. With 62% of the students we reached qualifying for free or reduced lunch, it’s clear that our work is making a direct impact on young minds who may not always have access to the financial education they need.
Beyond the regular shows, we were fortunate to participate in two incredible events that expanded the reach of our message. We attended the NAIFA National Leadership Conference in Arizona, where we shared our mission with industry leaders. Additionally, we had the privilege of leading a workshop at the Gus A. Stavros Center for Free Enterprise & Economic Education at the University of South Florida. The workshop, titled “Teach Like a Rockstar: The Economics of the Music Industry,” was a dynamic opportunity to explore the intersection of creativity and economics with teachers.
None of this would have been possible without the generous support of our amazing sponsors:
Iowa Dept. of Insurance & Financial Services
Bellco Credit Union
Nebraska Council on Economic Education
RBC Wealth Management
Mississippi Council on Economic Education
Georgia Secretary of State
A huge thank you to these organizations for their belief in the importance of financial literacy and their investment in our educational programs. And of course, a heartfelt thank you to all the schools that hosted us this fall. Your dedication to your students and your willingness to welcome us into your classrooms made this tour truly special.
As we look ahead, we’re excited to announce that our Spring 2025 tour will kick off in early March. Stay tuned for more details—we can’t wait to continue this journey of learning, inspiration, and music!
From all of us, enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday, and thank you for your ongoing support. We’re grateful for each of you!
