US/Central

It’s a city for kids, run by kids and Bank of America is giving children the financial tools they need to prepare them for the future.  The Bank of America branch inside the Children’s Museum of Houston’s Kidtropolis, USA exhibit has been revamped to include elements that will encourage children to take charge of their financial decisions as adults.  This enhancement will be marked with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 9 and media is invited to join.  And the first 100-children to enter Kidtropolis will receive free Bank of America piggy banks!

Visuals will include: a jubilant “city” rally led by the High Steppers brass band along with the Museum’s Kid’s Committee, a Kidtropolis key presentation by our own Kid Mayor, and a burst of confetti cannons following the ribbon cutting.

Event Time: 12:30  p.m.
