On Sunday June 14th, college students, White House staffers, The House Budget Committee and Treasury Department competed head to head in a national Budgetball tournament on the National Mall – a game designed by PETLab and Area/Code to create awareness around the Nation’s budget deficit. US Secretary General Tim Geithner congratulated participants and praised the game, saying “…I support initiatives like Budgetball which seek to broaden public awareness of the need for responsible financial behavior in our private and public lives. A more fiscally and financially fit public is important to a healthier economy and more prosperous future.”
