Ryan Tessler, a business teacher at Bensalem High School, took part in TruMark Financial Credit Union’s Feed-A-Pig financial literacy fundraiser.
Tessler fed a cracker to Raines the pig.
The Oct. 6 event, at Abington Art Center in Jenkintown, raised awareness and funds to support financial literacy programs in local schools such as Bensalem. Funds raised will allow area schools to provide students with the tools needed to learn the basics of personal finance.
Sports-radio and podcast personality Marc Farzetta, a Doylestown native and Archbishop Wood High School graduate, was the emcee.
To date, TruMark Financial has donated more than $350,000 to area schools in need of personal finance resources. The grants have been used to purchase resources such as calculators, computer software and textbooks to help teach the value of saving and the importance of managing money responsibly.
