The TD Charitable Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant for the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City Money Matters: Make It Count program. The program is dedicated to teaching vital financial skills to teenagers ages 13-18, empowering them to make informed decisions about money management.
“The financial decisions that young people make today will shape their futures,” Boys and Girls Club CEO Charles A.
