You received a survey from us last week asking for your feedback on how you use NGPF. If you completed the survey, you were entered for a chance to win one of 10 gift cards and we’re announcing the first two winners today! Haven’t filled out the survey yet to enter the raffle? You still have time for a chance to win the remaining eight gift cards.

Congratulations to the first two winners of the $50 Amazon Gift Cards! We asked them why they think financial literacy is important and what they are most excited about this summer.

Candice Larue who teaches at Aaron Mossell Junior High School (Lockport, NY):

• Financial literacy is so critical due to the fact that your credit score is the key to a person’s success.
• Spending time with family and friends and enjoying the beach.

Robert Gruetzke who teaches at Woonsocket High School (Woonsocket, RI):

• Financial literacy allows a graduate to go directly into the mainstream flow of the economy… be a participant, not a spectator.
• I am most excited to spend some time with family in the outdoors.

There is still time to take the 2021-2022 NGPF Usage Survey -- the survey only takes around 10 minutes to complete. We will be announcing two raffle winners every Tuesday between May 25-June 22 via the NGPF Blog.
