Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 9, 2026 – Consolidated Credit, a premier financial education and counseling organization with more than thirty years of experience in helping individuals overcome debt, announces its celebration of April as National Financial Literacy Month. The annual event amplifies the vital contributions of community partnerships in fostering financial stability through education and support.
Consolidated Credit has been at the forefront of advancing financial literacy. The National Financial Literacy Month breakfast reflects our dedication and continued commitment to equipping individuals and families with knowledge needed to make sound financial choices.
“Our 12th Annual Financial Literacy Month Celebration highlights the transformative impact of financial education in our communities. Through collaboration with our dedicated partners and funders, Consolidated Credit continues to expand access to critical resources that help individuals reduce debt, improve financial capability, and achieve lasting economic stability,” said Sandra Tobon, Director of Housing Counseling & Community Outreach for Consolidated Credit.
The event, held at the Junior Achievement of South Florida on Friday, April 3, 2026, provided an opportunity for financial experts, community leaders, and individuals who are passionate about improving financial literacy to network, share best practices, and advance financial literacy.
Highlighting the event, Consolidated Credit proudly presented the Barry Rothman Financial Education Scholarship to two high school students. The scholarships were made possible through the generous sponsorship of City National Bank, in partnership with United Way of Broward County, the Crockett Foundation, Hispanic Unity of Florida, and the FLITE Center, organizations that share our commitment to early financial education. We recognize the critical role it plays in preventing future financial challenges and promoting responsible money management.
Empowering the next generation of financially savvy leaders, this scholarship initiative was created to inspire high school students to understand the importance of financial education and the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. As part of the program, students participated in an engaging workshop that covered essential financial concepts for future business owners, including personal budgeting, cash flow management, credit use, and business banking tools.
The breakfast also highlighted community partners who have made significant contributions to promoting financial literacy, such as Wells Fargo, Truist Bank, City National Bank, Valley Bank, Third Federal Savings and Loan, Comerica, First Bank, Optimum Bank, CITI Bank, and the United Way of Broward County. Their efforts have been instrumental in helping individuals and families achieve financial stability and independence. The recognition of these partners underscores the importance of collaborating our efforts in addressing financial literacy challenges.
Consolidated Credit invites individuals, organizations, and stakeholders dedicated to promoting financial literacy to join this significant event. By coming together, we can pave the way for a financially secure future for everyone in our community.
