is inviting Mainer's to "Be a fan" of Special Olympics

June 1 - July 31!

As part of a national partnership, TD Bank is 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 TD Bank to support Maine's Special Olympics athletes:

  • For a $5 donation,  you can sport a cool "Be a fan" bracelet - just pick one up at any TD Bank location!
  • 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.
  • Make an in-store donation next time you're in.

So find your nearest TD Bank,

stop by, and "Be a fan" of

Special Olympics!
