LAS VEGAS, NV – (October 18, 2024) – Lexicon Bank celebrated the Grand Opening of its Tivoli Village location recreated inside Junior Achievement’s BizTown on October 10th, 2024, with the participation of its board members, bank executives, and local dignitaries. Bank Chairman Russell Rosenblum and his wife, Anne Mazzola, and Lexicon President & CEO Stacy Watkins were critical in raising the funds necessary to make this project a reality through their participation in the JA Inspiration Center’s Capital Campaign.
“As a founding sponsor of Junior Achievement’s BizTown in Las Vegas, Lexicon Bank is proud to demonstrate once again its commitment to improving our community by providing financial education,” said President and CEO Stacy Watkins. “Lexicon Bank fully supports Junior Achievement’s mission to present our youth with working knowledge of the free enterprise system.”
The BizTown branch is designed to be a learning experience that allows elementary school students the hands-on opportunity to operate a community bank and understand its functions, such as opening bank accounts and depositing checks. It allows students to immerse themselves in roles they will play as citizens, workers, and consumers in their community, along with basic business practices and responsibilities. Hilary Nelson, Senior Vice President and Director of Operations and Compliance for Lexicon Bank, serves on the board of directors for Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada. Her personal and professional commitment to the BizTown project led the process for the bank’s involvement. “As a community bank, supporting nonprofit organizations like Junior Achievement is a responsibility we take seriously,” stated Nelson. “Through our participation in BizTown, Lexicon Bank is having a real impact on increasing the financial literacy of our future community leaders.”
BizTown is located inside the JA Inspiration Center at 4440 E. Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89121. Operating hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Anyone interested in participating or volunteering in BizTown may call Junior Achievement at 702.214.0500 or visit southernnevada.ja.org.
