CHERRY HILL, N.J., May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TD Bank, America's
Most Convenient Bank®, aims to raise more than
$1 million for Special Olympics
chapters across its Maine-to-Florida
footprint over the coming weeks.
TD Bank, along with TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (NYSE:
AMTD) and TD Auto Finance, will support Special Olympics through
the bank's 7th annual fundraising program, starting
May 18.
"Special Olympics does an amazing job empowering children and
adults with intellectual disabilities," said Fred Graziano, Executive Vice President and Head
of Regional Commercial Banking, Government Banking and Small
Business for TD Bank. "Each year we are thrilled to support such a
remarkable organization that inspires so many athletes and their
families, and does so much for the community."
Last year, TD customers and employees raised more than
$1 million for Special Olympics from
Maine to Florida through their purchase of wristbands and
donations. TD Bank has raised more than $6
million since 2009.
Green and white wristbands, featuring the TD Bank and Special
Olympics logos, will be available for $5 each at all TD Bank stores. Customers and
non-customers can also use Penny Arcade to count and donate their
loose change; the standard fee will be waived for non-customers who
donate. As a part of TD's company-wide fundraising efforts,
employees will have the opportunity to contribute towards the
program internally through direct corporate donations. Special
Olympics will receive 92 percent of all funds raised through these
promotions.
"Special Olympics inspires all of us to open our hearts to a
wider world of human talent and potential and TD Ameritrade is
proud to collaborate on this effort with TD Bank," said
Katrina Becker, managing director of
communications and public affairs, TD Ameritrade.
