Chase representative, Ken Frazier discussed the importance of budgeting to build and maintain financial wellness. The event, hosted by Ana Jurka, TV personality and award-winning journalist, at Coral Reef High School in Miami, drew more than 500 students in person. Together the special guests, along with the Foundation and Chase, shared the goal of amplifying the importance of financial education from access to money and credit management in building a career in Latin music and the arts.

Through this session, hundreds of high school students, including emerging musicians, gained an understanding of budget management and resources—along with expert advice.

“Coral Reef Senior High School is thrilled to welcome the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation and Chase to Miami’s Mega-Magnet,” said Nicole Bergé-MacInnes, Principal, Coral Reef High School. “Over 500 of our Magnet Band, Chorus, Orchestra, Dance, Drama, IB & AP Spanish, and Business & Finance Magnet students participated in the “Essentials of Budgeting in the Music Arts Industry” workshop with Latin GRAMMY winner Pedro Capo. Giving our students the opportunity to learn about the music business and gain practical financial knowledge was a unique opportunity for our Barracuda family.”
