Four-day financial education program kicks off
next week in Florida
Forty-three members of the NFL family, including 28 current and
former NFL players, will take part in the second annual NFL
Personal Finance Camp in Fort Lauderdale, FL next week (April
4-7). Green Bay Packers LB Julius Peppers, Chicago Bears S Antrel
Rolle and Detroit Lions LB Stephen Tulloch are among the players
taking part in the four-day financial education program (see below
for full list of participating players). Fifteen players will be
attending with their spouses/significant others, nearly doubling
the total number of participants from the inaugural event last
spring.
The program, developed jointly by NFL Player Engagement, the
University of Miami School of Business Administration and TD
Ameritrade1, offers participants an opportunity to get an in-depth
understanding of the people, investments and forces in the
financial world and equips them with the knowledge and tools to
help them build generational wealth and maintain long-term
financial security.
“Programs like the Personal Finance Camp provide our players and
their families with the resources, skills and support to achieve
success in all aspects of their lives. Financial stability is
critical to that success,” said Charles Way, NFL vice president of
Player Engagement. “The Personal Finance Camp offers players the
education and means to better manage their money and start to build
generational wealth to secure their financial futures.”
Over the course of four days, participants will receive
instruction from University of Miami School of Business
Administration faculty and TD Ameritrade financial professionals,
as well as former NFL All-Pro DE Patrick Kerney, now the director
of business development at National Fire & Casualty
Investments. Program sessions will include “Building Generational
Wealth,” “Funding an Uncertain Lifespan,” “Planning and Building
Your Portfolio,” and “Examining Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning.”
Throughout the week, participants also will have the opportunity to
receive one-on-one financial planning assistance.
“We’ve designed the program specifically for past and current
players to help them achieve long-term financial security,” said
David Lecón, director of executive education at the University of
Miami School of Business Administration. “It is wonderful to see so
many NFL players making such crucial investment in their
future.”
“We all face an evolving definition of retirement – one where
the end of a career does not necessarily mean the end of
employment,” said Denise Karkos, chief marketing officer, TD
Ameritrade. “This is especially true for many NFL players and their
families, making a financial plan no longer a luxury, but a
necessity. That’s why we are proud to help present Personal Finance
Camp for a second straight year. While even the best financial plan
will never guarantee financial success or security, through
education we can help participants establish good financial habits,
increase understanding and break down the barriers that stand
between them and their financial goals.”
This is one of several career and professional development
programs NFL Player Engagement offers to current and former players
and their families. More than 40 players and their significant
others took part in the inaugural Business Academy last month at
the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business.
