TD Bank and TD Banknorth are inviting you to
"Be a fan" of Special Olympics, June 1 - July 15!
As
part of a national partnership, TD Bank and TD Banknorth are asking
their customers to help them raise funds for Special Olympics through a
variety of unique and fun ways.
Here are just a few ways you can team up with them to support Special Olympics New York athletes: 
For a $5 donation, you can sport a cool "Be a fan" bracelet - just pick one up at any TD Bank location or TD Banknorth!
Is
all that loose change slowing you down? Take it to TD Bank, have it
converted to bills, and choose to donate a portion (or maybe all?) of
your conversion to Special Olympics.
Visit www.tdbank.com/beafan (starting June 1) to make an on-line donation. That's easy ! Make an in-store donation next time you're in.
Take
part in one of their special in-store fun events that will benefit
Special Olympics. Could be a car wash, a dunk tank, a bake sale, a
concert, who knows what they'll come up with? And our athletes will be
attending many of these events, so you'll get to meet a hometown hero!
Have a commercial account with TD Bank? Talk to your account representative about how you can make a donation.
