MEDFORD, Ore. — Rogue Federal Credit Union helped some 100 fifth-grade students from Jackson and Washington Elementary Schools run the mock city of BizTown.

With the credit union's $5,000 donation, the students were the first outside the Portland Metro to participate in BizTown.

"I wish we could send every local student to BizTown, the lessons gained there will carry through with the students for the rest of their lives. Life lessons and financial education are so important to us here at Rogue Federal because we truly want to see people succeed. BizTown will serve as the foundation for these children's future," said Rogue Federal Community Education/Outreach Coordinator Kerrie Davis.
