INDIANAPOLIS—Teachers Credit Union has entered into a partnership with the NBA’s Indiana Pacers that includes as part of the deal an exclusive, free program for high school teachers in the state to help teach financial empowerment.
The program will ensure that the youth of our communities will have access at no cost to educational resources to prepare for their financial future. In addition, also as part of the deal, the practice court at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, used by both the Indiana Pacers and the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, will be renamed TCU Court.
“This partnership provides financial empowerment tools to our youth as well as the opportunity to make a significant impact in our communities” said Paul Marsh, president and CEO of TCU, in a released statement. “Hoosiers are faced with tough money decisions each and every day and they do not readily have access to the tools necessary to help prepare them to make those decisions. We have those tools; however to put them into the hands of our community members, it was essential we build a partnership with such a significant force in our community, the Indiana Pacers.”
Pacers player Rakeem Christmas will serve as the representative for the financial empowerment initiative in the community.
Terms of the deal were not released.
