Financial health is a lot like physical health. We grow stronger when we make it a priority and stay committed to a plan. All it takes is some knowledge and the right training. That’s why The Smarter Tomorrow Foundation™ created the 4.01K Race for Financial Fitness™. To support the financial literacy programs that put kids on the right track.
Jean Chatzky, personal finance expert and host of the HerMoney podcast, will serve as our National Financial Head Coach for the third year in a row. She'll be sharing great financial tips and strategies on our social media in the months leading up to the race. And come race day, she'll be lacing up to join the runners in New York and Orlando!
