Banking on KIDS
Anhalt is the president of Banking On KIDS,[6], a company that helps K-8 students become fiscally prudent by opening student-run-banks in their schools.[7][8][9][10] Founded in 1995, Anhalt's initiatives represented an example of smaller banks becoming involved in education: In 1999, the organization started programs in 75 schools with the help of 15 banks in the Milwaukee area. The program sets many goals for students, such as opening their own savings account.[11][12] Anhalt believes the program is beneficial because it helps students set financial habits early on.[3][13][14] Anhalt has also stated that another goal of the organization is to reduce the use of check-cashing services, which he called "legalized loan sharking." Such services take a percentage cut from the value of the check, and to remedy this, more emphasis needs to be placed on individuals saving money.[15]
Event promotion and coordinating
Under his organization, Just Like Downtown, Anhalt marketed, promoted, and coordinated several public events in the Milwaukee area. For instance, he promoted several "best of" contests in local foods, such as custard, fish fry, and pizza.[16] He also organized and promoted the idea for the Park-it Market at County Stadium in 1982, which was a flea market described as "Milwaukee's biggest rummage sale ever." The event attracted 600 sellers and an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 attendees.[17][18] Anhalt was noted for his atypical promotional strategy, such as using WBCS radio as a method to advertise the event.[16]
Anhalt is also responsible for orchestrating or promoting numerous events in the Milwaukee area:
- A rubber duck race,[19][20]
- A scavenger hunt through the Milwaukee Public Museum,[21]
- Selling sod from the County Stadium following the 1982 World Series,[22]
- An amateur vs. pro golfer competition (with Andy North),[23]
- The Milwaukee Amusement Players Expo, a video game convention,[24] and
- A bachelor auction, for Big Brothers Big Sisters.[25]
He previously served as the development manager for the Milwaukee Department of Parks, Recreation, and Culture[19], Marketing Director for the King Solomon Mines in Eilat, Israel,[26] and Education Consultant for the Greater Milwaukee Education Trust.[27]
