Public Can Vote For Burke Student In National Competition

BURKE, VA—The public can vote for a Burke student, one five national finalists in the American Bankers Association's national Lights, Camera, Save! competition. Dylan J. Fox, a sophomore at Lake Braddock Secondary School, was the regional winner for his video on promoting financial literacy for teens.

The contest, open to teens ages 13-18, challenged students to submit a 90-second video that encourages teens to use money responsibly. Fox's video, "Money: It's Literally Everything" was selected by a panel of local judges from Burke & Herbert Bank. The winning video featured Dylan performing an original song he composed about wise money management.

Fox is up for $1,000, $2,500 or the grand prize of $5,000, plus a scholarship for an educator from their school to attend the Jump$tart National Educator Conference. Winners will be announced during America Saves Week in February 2018. Burke & Herbert Bank has rewarded him and Lake Braddock Secondary School with gift card prizes on the local level.

Voting is open through noon on Wednesday, Feb. 14. Facebook users can vote for Fox's entry here.
