The contest, sponsored by Jackson Charitable Foundation and Discovery Education, invites the public to vote for their school of choice to win the grand prize of $10,000 for educator resources to support teaching kids about managing personal finances, according to a news release.

The grand prize also includes a $1,000 donation to the charitable organization of the school’s choice and an interactive, financial literacy event hosted by Discovery Education emphasizing Cha-Ching’s four foundations of financial education: earn, save, spend, and donate.
