Denver, Colorado - December 3, 2024 - The Global Children Financial Literacy Foundation (GCFLF) has announced Denver Councilwoman Flor Alvidrez as the inaugural sponsor of the 2025 Annual Wesley Learns Book Drive. This initiative, led by GCFLF co-founders Chadrick Davis and Prince Dykes, aims to empower underserved communities through financial education and first-time stock ownership opportunities.
The Wesley Learns Book Drive is more than a campaign—it’s a movement to address critical gaps in financial education. This initiative will impact five major U.S. cities: Denver, Atlanta, New York City, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. Denver will proudly kick off the campaign in April 2025 during Financial Literacy Month, setting the stage for transformative community involvement.
Why Financial Literacy Matters:
Councilwoman Flor Alvidrez, a passionate advocate for financial literacy and member of Denver’s Budget & Policy Committee, expressed her enthusiasm for the program:"As a proud sponsor of the Global Children's Financial Literacy Foundation, I am thrilled to support a program helping shape the future of Denver’s youth. Financial literacy is the key to success, and I hear directly from young people in our city—they want to understand money and how to save, invest, and plan for their dreams. This program not only makes learning about finances fun and accessible but also encourages Denver families to come together and have important conversations about a topic that can sometimes feel uncomfortable. We’re building a stronger, more empowered Denver for future generations by fostering informed decision-making and strengthening family bonds.”

This partnership aims to:
-
Donate financial literacy books to underserved children.
-
Create first-time shareholders, empowering young people to take their first steps into financial independence.
Councilwoman Alvidrez’s leadership amplifies the importance of bridging financial education gaps and ensuring all children, regardless of their background, have the tools to succeed.
Wesley Learns Book Drive: Transforming Education Into Action
The Wesley Learns Book Drive combines education and real-world application, providing children with engaging financial literacy resources like the Wesley Learns book series, authored by GCFLF Co-Founder Prince Dykes. Featuring iconic figures like NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis, the series simplifies complex financial concepts, making them accessible and inspiring for young readers.
The campaign’s timeline spans from October 15, 2024, to March 31, 2025, culminating with a kickoff event in Denver in April 2025. This event will spotlight community involvement and showcase the collective effort to empower the next generation through financial literacy.
A National Movement with Local Impact
The Wesley Learns Book Drive will reach five U.S. cities through partnerships with local city councils and community leaders. Each city will tailor the program to address its unique challenges, creating a nationwide ripple effect of empowerment and inclusion.
Chadrick Davis, GCFLF Co-Founder, emphasized the campaign's importance:"This initiative is about more than books. It’s about sparking conversations, building confidence, and fostering inclusion.
