(BPRW) Experian’s Legacy League Game Show™ Celebrates One-Year Anniversary of Empowering HBCU and HSI Students

Forty percent of consumers under the age of 25 are credit invisible, which disproportionately affects communities of color (26% of Hispanic and 28% of Black consumers, compared to 16% of white and 16% of Asian consumers). The Legacy League Game Show™ fosters a deeper understanding of credit, debt management, and overall financial wellness. Close to 100% of attendees surveyed say they gained new knowledge from the experience.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the one-year anniversary of The Legacy League Game Show™ and its positive impact on young consumers across the country,” said Raudy Perez, senior director of external diversity, equity and inclusion partnerships. “While I was growing up, we didn’t talk about money matters in my household; I know first-hand that normalizing and modernizing the conversation about money and credit for young people is key to financial literacy and generational wealth building. By blending the excitement of a game show with real-world financial lessons, we’ve created a unique experience that makes learning about credit and finances feel exciting and relevant to people’s everyday lives.”

The Legacy League Game Show™ marked its one-year anniversary where it debuted in 2023: at EntreprenUTSA at the University of Texas San Antonio, for which Experian was a lead sponsor. The show has traveled to 10 universities and events in the U.S. including the National Urban League 2024 convention, UnidosUS Education Summit, Morgan State and Shaw Universities. Special guests have joined the fun, including rapper and college basketball standout Flau’jae, comedian and actor Mike Merrill, Louisiana State University wide receiver Chris Hilton, Jr. and Grammy-nominated D Smoke.
