Jacksonville –  EverBank teamed up with NFL All-Pro and former Jacksonville Jaguar Donovin Darius to host a D.A.R.E. to Dream Life Camp at EverBank Field on September 13, 2014.

Three hundred girls ages 9-16 got a behind-the-scenes experience at EverBank Field including games, activities and an interactive learning session on financial literacy supported by EverFi. EverFi is a leading education technology company focused on teaching critical skills to students. The girls as well as their parents/guardians learned important money management habits and how to better plan for the future.    

"Empowering our youth with the knowledge to manage finances is vital," said Blake Wilson, EverBank's president and chief operating officer. "We are very proud to make this a fun, engaging event at EverBank Field alongside the Donovin Darius Foundation."

D.A.R.E. stands for Dignity, Achievement, Respect and Empowerment. "As a father of three children, I embrace the important responsibility of this position," said Darius.  "Our camps create a great learning atmosphere and our wonderful partners provide the tools to allow these young ladies to become successful."
