Banzai Wins Chamber of Commerce Award
The impact Banzai is having on our schools and community was recognized by the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce in 2021. Spirit of Alaska FCU was selected as the Bernice M. Joseph Education Advocate of the Year.
“My hope in winning this award is to increase the impact that financial education can have in our community. There are many resources out there, but I believe Banzai is fun, effective, and useful for schools, businesses, and most of all, families.”
