Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Jarvis Landry and BankUnited, a proud corporate partner of the Miami Dolphins, presented 15-year-old Turner Technical Senior High student Shannon Charlotin with a $1,000 cash prize at a reception and meet-and-greet held recently at the bank’s Miami Lakes headquarters.
Charlotin, a student at the Miami high school, wrote the grand-prize winning essay as part of the 4 Downs for Finance financial literacy program sponsored by BankUnited, which offers students a chance to kick-start their own personal savings. Throughout the regular football season, South Florida students were encouraged to access age-appropriate money tips online and submit an essay on a financial literacy topic.
