Welcome to the “Debit & Credit Cards 101” fund-raising page.  We want to help you raise money, and create a better image for your organization – all at the same time.

We created “Debit & Credit Cards 101 to help people.  The average adult has $8,000 in credit card debt, and the average college senior has over $3,000.  70% of all Americans do not pay off their monthly balances in full. 

Debt, especially credit card debt, has reached tragic proportions.

On the other hand, we all need our cards!  They are useful tools.  Credit cards are convenient, practical and certainly here to stay.  We need to learn to use them wisely, and to put them to work for us.
