Dear Parents, I want to take a moment to tell you about DollarCamp. I work for Compass Family Center, a charity organization that provides housing, education, and employment services to San Francisco's homeless and at-risk families. Stephen Epstein, the founder of DollarCamp, wants to bring financial education to people who need it most. DollarCamp is working to try to raise money for a variety of services for our homeless families. At Stephen's recommendation, we are trying to raise money to pay for secured credit card fees. Secured credit cards allow our homeless clients to rebuild and repair their credit history. The problem, however, is that these cards charge annual fees (often $35-$75 per year). Unfortunately, most of the people we are trying to help can't afford these fees and thus cannot obtain a secured credit card. Please ask Stephen about donating to our Secured Credit Card Fund Raising Campaign. Best regards, Ali M. Greenberg, MA Family Shelter Program Coordinator Compass Family Center Compass Community Services 995 Market Street, 5th Fl San Francisco, CA 94103 Ph (415) 644-0507 x411 Fax (415) 644-0380 [email protected] Compass Community Services provides housing, education and employment services to San Francisco’s homeless and at-risk families.

From The Desk Of Bryan Bauman CEO, Marketing Strategies Team I am writing this letter while wearing 2 different hats. The first is CEO of a small business - the second is as Father of 2 children. As both the leader of my children and my company I am extremely impressed with what Dollar Camp has to offer the youth of today. The principals shared are so vital to a successful financial future that I can not wait until my children are old enough to attend - they absolutely will be there. From a professional standpoint, as a employer I have seen poor financial decisions made by young employees time and time again. I am convinced that with the education provided by Dollar Camp the largest majority of these decisions would have been avoided. This in turn would allow for more productive, happy and engaging employees - translating into a more profitable company for me. Stephen - count me in as one of your stalwart advocates. Cordially, Bryan Bauman CEO, Marketing Strategies Team

To those interested in DollarCamp: Our company trains executives and leaders all across the globe to be better communicators. Stephen Epstein, the founder of DollarCamp, took our "Effective Presentations Skills" seminar and benefited immensely from it. I have personally had the pleasure to review Stephen’s DollarCamp materials and seminar design with him. From my background of over thirty years in the training business, I can say confidently that the seminar does what it claims to do. Stephen is passionate about personal finance and is highly skilled at teaching people how to handle their money more intelligently. DollarCamp is a much-needed seminar that will help students to be wiser about their money, and the experience will pay off for them for a lifetime. The seminar is fun and engaging, while conveying solid substance about these important personal finance issues. I strongly recommend DollarCamp to students and recent grads, and I encourage parents to encourage their kids to attend. Sincerely,

Ed Musselwhite CEO

To Parents:

As a self-made successful entrepreneur, I am very much aware of how a fundamental

understanding of money, leverage, debt, cashflow and savings has been a vital component of my

success.

Stephen Epstein's DollarCamp is designed to teach these and other concepts to young

people starting out on their own after completing their education. His course is fun, insightful,

impacting and a fast-paced tour de force. At a small additional cost on top of the expenses of a

college degree, it is one course which may well make a fundamental difference in the probability

of a young person achieving life-long success in realm of financial security and wealth creation.

BENEFIT STREET PARTNERS

Dear Parents:

I wanted to take a moment to show my support for DollarCamp and what Stephen Epstein is trying to do. Stephen wants to bring essential personal finance skills to young people, so that they can make smarter decisions about their money and stay out of trouble.

My name is Miles Mulcare, and I work for Benefit Street. Our company handles all sorts of services within the realm of administered benefits; company pension plans and 401(k)s.

Young people don’t understand how important it is to start saving immediately after college. Many of the ones who do understand, have so much credit card debt that they are unable to save. DollarCamp strives to instill the two most important parts of financial success; controlling spending and saving for the future.

DollarCamp exists because this information is not being taught in high schools and students don’t want to hear about it from their parents.

Think of it as an important investment in your child’s future…

Best regards,

Miles Mulcare Sales Associate for Benefit Street 455 Market Street, Suite 2220 San Francisco, CA 94105 Direct 415-874-2597 Mobile 415-205-5340

Dear Parents, My name is Megan Carbone. I am an executive recruiter in the finance industry. It amazes me how many young adults lack basic financial skills. When interviewing for jobs, most don't understand how to evaluate non-cash benefits or the importance of good 401(k) programs. More importantly, however, most people fail to realize how much their credit score influences their chances of landing the job that they want. Employers care a LOT about your credit score. The best way to ensure that your child is able to succeed in the competitive job market is to get them a financial education and to begin establishing and building their credit. I attended DollarCamp to learn about how it might help my young candidates. I was very impressed with the amount of helpful and actionable information. There is no fluff, just great and usable advice. The concepts are accessible and the students were engaged throughout. I strongly recommend DollarCamp for all young people. Best regards, Megan Carbone Account Executive Kforce Finance & Accounting Staffing www.kforce.com Great People = Great ResultsSM
