Brighter Financial Futures (dba PennCFL) is proud to announce that Eric Huston won in our challenging Stock Market competition.  Eric is a student at West Greene School District and worked under the leadership of Rebecca Martinak. 

The competitions are held in the classroom, both county-wide and state-wide. Eric finished in 2nd place in the High School Division for the Southwest Region. 

The program is generously sponsored by Penn West & UPMC Health Plan.  The Pennsylvania Council on Financial Literacy (PennCFL) exists to prepare the next generation to rise up! Many in society today suffer financially due to the lack of financial management skills & a “minimum wage” mindset. We strive to change the future by offering all Pennsylvania students in grades K - 12 personal finance education, a Stock Market & personal budgeting
game, along with entrepreneurship skills that will help them thrive in the workforce & in life.

PennCFL is a 501(c)3 organization and is approved by Pennsylvania’s Department of Community & Economic Development as an Educational Improvement Organization. The PennCFL competitions and programs result in over 20,000 student registrations in Pennsylvania. Training and support are provided to hundreds of teachers. PennCFL showcases exceptional talent from business, education, and government. 

The entrepreneurship program, Dream-Learn-Pitch, allows students to learn
through an online curriculum, at entrepreneurship conferences, or
independently with their teachers. Students can upload their Elevator Pitch to win prizes up to $10,000 and additionally, up to $40,000 in college scholarships. See www.dreamlearnpitch.org/terms-... for details.
