Biz Kid$ kicks off fourth season, rings NYSE closing bell
NEW YORK, N.Y. (4/29/10)--The Emmy Award-winning Biz Kid$, the credit union-funded public television series that educates youth about finances, launched its fourth season by ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Wednesday.
The Biz Kid$ team, accompanied by credit unions, visited NYSE in celebration of National Financial Literacy Month.
Bringing down the gavel were three of the show's young stars, Seattle natives Kaelon Horst, Alexander Oki and Austin Siedentopf; executive producers Jamie Hammond and Jeannine Glista; and Washington Credit Union League President/CEO John Annaloro, who represented the show's underwriters, America's Credit Unions.
"This hit series has been such a success," said Annaloro. "Ringing the closing bell is just the latest recognition of Biz Kid$' importance and scope, as well as all the work and dedication that [is from] the credit union community."
Glista said the new episodes, funded entirely by the credit union system, were some of the best and most timely the series has made.
