(April 22, 2010) Mocha Moms, Inc., the national, non-profit support organization for at-home mothers of color, has joined Wells Fargo in an exciting new partnership to give mothers the tools they need to improve their family's financial health and prepare for retirement. "We are honored to join Wells Fargo as it lends its wealth of expertise to mothers who are the heart and soul of their families," says Dee Dee Jackson, Mocha Moms, Inc. national president. "We are all living in uncertain times. The financial knowledge that we provide our mothers today will help them to make smarter decisions and build stronger families for tomorrow." As part of the partnership, Wells Fargo will be the presenting sponsor of Mocha Moms' 2010 regional conferences. Mocha Moms, Inc. has six regions throughout the country, all of whom are hosting conferences throughout the year. Wells Fargo Financial Advisors will present "From Here to There: A Clear View of Retirement for Women," a seminar specifically designed for women to help them navigate through retirement savings, investing and planning and the unique considerations women face. The workshop will speak to the investment styles, options and important questions for women to consider as they plan for their family's financial future. According to Wells Fargo, while men and women have similar long-term financial goals, women live longer, earn less on average and are more likely to interrupt their careers to raise a family. Wells Fargo will also sponsor special appearances by investment expert and stockbroker Gail Perry-Mason, co-author of "Girl, Make Your Money Grow!" at the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Regional Conferences. "This is an exciting event for us to be a part of not only to share Wells Fargo products and services with this important group but also to help them expand their investment confidence and help their families build financial security for the future," said Michelle Thornhill, senior vice president and African American segment manager for Wells Fargo
