community that helps students improve their reading, writing and

“At OneMain Financial, we’re committed to helping improve the
financial health of our customers, and we believe this starts with
education at a young age. This is something that is often

fantastic program, and we are truly excited to partner with Tackle
Tomorrow and make a difference in the Dallas community.”
Tackle Tomorrow was founded in 2014 and is part of the Today

instructors, computers and tablets.
“The potential to love learning exists inside each child, and
we’re grateful to OneMain Financial for their support,” said Haley.
“There’s so much power in education, and it’s our job to help
children unlock that power through reading and math.”
The grant services up to 500 students at Paul L. Dunbar Learning
