FICO and First Tee – Ontario to Host Free Youth Financial Empowerment Event Ahead of the RBC Canadian Open

FICO’s Score A Better Future™ Fundamentals program gives teens the knowledge and tools to help build a strong foundation and make informed personal finance decisions early in life

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global analytics software leader, FICO and First Tee’s Ontario chapter will host a free Score A Better Future™ Fundamentals financial literacy event for teens from the Boys & Girls Club of Caledon and Brampton on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. The event will be held at Mono Hills Golf Club and is designed to help teens aged 14–17 better prepare for healthy financial futures, including understanding how credit works and the role of the FICO® Score when it comes to saving for a home, car, or an education.

The event takes place within the week of the 2025 RBC Canadian Open. Following the workshop, students will participate in First Tee golf programming and take a group photo with the RBC Canadian Open Trophy.

“Financial literacy and a good golf game both require the same foundations: practice and discipline,” said Amber Aquin, Chapter Head of First Tee – Ontario. “This collaboration with FICO during the RBC Canadian Open gives youth the opportunity to build both golf skills and the money smarts to excel on and off life’s most important courses.”

FICO’s Score A Better Future Fundamentals program is designed to educate teens on how financial decisions made early in life, particularly around credit, can shape their futures. The program equips students with practical knowledge to better understand personal finance and credit, while building habits that support long-term financial health.

“At FICO, we’re passionate about helping educate young people to take control of their financial futures,” said Jenelle Dito, vice president of Consumer Empowerment Programs and Partnerships at FICO. “Working with First Tee – Ontario and the Boys & Girls Club of Caledon and Brampton allows us to bring these important lessons to life in a fun, engaging way, just as the RBC Canadian Open begins.”
