Two players for the Chicago Bears plan to work with Visa Inc. to help teach some Chicago-area students about managing finances.

The running back Matt Forte and cornerback Charles Tillman, along with U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert, R-Ill., were scheduled to be part of Visa's Financial Football program at Bolingbrook (Ill.) High School on Nov. 8.

Forte and Tillman will coach up to 50 students in the education game that incorporates Visa's Practical Money Skills for Life curriculum.

Visa has been running the Financial Football program with National Football League players around the country since 2006. New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees helped with an event in February. Visa has held other events this year in Atlanta, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and St. Petersburg, Fla.
