Some Drumheller Dragons went back to school this week to learn a little about finance.![]()
Save big with Raptors Financial and the Drumheller Dragons is the name of the latest promotion for the valley's Junior ATB Financial branch, which has been in operation for just over a year.
Four members of the team visited St. Anthony's School, the branch's home, on January 28 to meet their young fans and help present a cheque to the school from the big ATB Financial branch in the Canadian Tire parking lot.
"We had them autograph and if you deposit or start an account, you get Dragons tickets," reported Teigan Sattler, the Chief Compliance Officer with the school's ATB branch, which the students renamed Raptors Financial. The school based bank is open during the lunch hour every second Thursday, allowing students to make deposits or withdrawals.
"It's way better because you get to burn lunchtime, you get to talk to your friends, basically hang out and you get to help people," Sattler told 99.5 Drum FM.
Sattler, whose older brother, Chase, was the branch's first CEO, has been in the banking 'business' for just over a month now.
"I've started to save my money more, help out more with money earning," he noted. " I've got a lot more money since this started."
The $500 cheque from ATB Financial will help to fund math programs at St. Anthony's.
