Tupelo, MS (July 2, 2024) – Seventy-two percent of parents experience at least some reluctance to talk to their kids about financial matters. To address this issue, the Mississippi Council for Economic Education (MCEE) and State Farm are proud to announce a collaboration to conduct Family Financial Fun Nights for families across Mississippi.
These engaging events are designed to bring students and their families together for an enjoyable evening focused on learning the importance of personal finance. The aim is to create an open dialogue about essential topics such as savings, spending, debt, and budgeting—subjects that are often not discussed at the dinner table.
Here in Tupelo, on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, a Family Financial Fun Night will be held at the Tupelo Police Athletic League from 6 pm – 8 pm. This event will provide a unique opportunity for families to come together and discuss financial matters in a supportive and educational environment. Dinner will be served. There is no cost to attend, but families must register no later than Friday, July 12.

“We are thrilled to be working with State Farm. This program aligns with our mission to ensure children and families statewide are equipped with the vocabulary and knowledge needed to make smart financial decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities,” said Selena Swartzfager, President of the Mississippi Council for Economic Education. “You are never too young to learn and talk about money, and the school setting is a perfect place to start the conversation.”
The Tupelo event is also supported by The CREATE Foundation. For more information about the Family Financial Fun Night in Tupelo, please contact the MS Council on Economic Education at 601-974-1325 or mscee@millsaps.edu.
