Sponsored by Chrysler Financial and Anheuser-Busch, the “Get Your Money Right” tour will include stops in five other cities, including New York (April 22), Miami (May 20), Atlanta (September 16), Los Angeles (September 30) and Dallas (October 14).
“HSAN understands attainment of financial literacy is a life long process and with their support we have found a way to provide the basics of money management with the ultimate goal of raising the awareness and importance of sound financial habits in summit participants” said Chrysler Financial vice president William F. Jones Jr. via a statement. “Artists sharing their personal stories have been an effective teaching method.”
Last year’s “Get Your Money Right” tour also launched in Detroit. Eminem and R&B singer Fantasia were among those in attendance.
“The Hip-Hop Summit Action Network consistently taps into the consciousness of our youth, providing them with not only knowledge, but tools that will help them prepare for a future in which the decisions they make today will determine the opportunities they have tomorrow,” stated Johnny Furr, vice president, urban marketing and community affairs for Anheuser-Busch. “Anheuser-Busch is proud to continue our partnership with, and support of, the Summits and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, which make a real and lasting difference in the lives of young people in communities across the nation.”
The 2006 “Get Your Money Right” tour will launch on March 25 at Wayne State University’s Bonstelle Theatre.
