FortuneBuilders Brings Teen Financial Literacy Campaign to Orange County

SAN DIEGO, July 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FortuneBuilders, the nation's premier real estate investing education and business development company, will bring their national financial literacy program for teens to Orange County. The initiative, Future FortuneBuilders (FFB), which has brought teen development camps to major markets across the nation, will host their largest event of the year in Costa Mesa, Thursday, July 14 to Sunday, July 17.

The Future FortuneBuilders program has organized a 4-day camp for teens aged 13-17 based on a curriculum of financial skills seldom taught in traditional schools. In partnership with FortuneBuilders philanthropic arm, FortuneBuilders Gives, nearly 100 local teens will receive scholarships for the program, with an additional small group of students in partnership with the local Boys and Girls Club.

"We're excited to bring our program to the community of Orange County, and to partner with local charities in the area," said Than Merrill, CEO of FortuneBuilders. "We hope by doing so we can make even more of an impact on the community, raise more awareness for our initiative and set a great example for the students who attend."

The Costa Mesa event will be the 6th camp of the national campaign this year, having had several successful events from San Francisco to Washington DC. The FFB camp will also be a longer 4-day summer camp versus the standard 2-day camp hosted during the school year.

"I look forward to our summer camp programs as they allow us to give students a more diverse curriculum and a more impactful experience," explained JP Servideo, Speaker and Co-founder of Future FortuneBuilders. "During this 4-day event, students will learn irreplaceable life skills, including money management and how to build credit early in life."

In conjunction with the teen development camp FortuneBuilders will be hosting 'A Night Under The Stars' to raise funds for upcoming Future FortuneBuilders initiatives. The event will include dinner, cocktails and a silent auction and will be hosted at the Hilton Hotel in Costa Mesa. 700 guests are expected to be in attendance, with tickets on sale for $15 per person.
