She was honored with the other winners from across San Diego County at an Awards Ceremony held at the Comic-Con Museum on Saturday April 13th.
Hosted by the San Diego Council on Literacy, this annual competition invites local kids ages 4-17 to submit graphic art entries that are comic-book themed and include a financial literacy or money management message.
“Getting kids excited about financial literacy can be challenging, but it’s incredibly important to an individual’s long-term success, so we developed this competition with a fun focus on mediums that families love – comics and superheroes,” said, Jose Cruz, CEO of the San Diego Council on Literacy. “Through this artistic approach, we can spark family conversations on key critical money management skills, like the importance of saving or borrowing wisely.”
Kayli received an Honorable Mention in the 4-6 Year Age Group for her entry she made with her Dad, Gabriel Ortgea.
The 2024 competition was sponsored by North Island Credit Union, MyPoint Credit Union, Sycuan Casino, and Kaiser-Permanente, with the Comic-Con Museum a key partner.
