Coin Counting Campaign Raising Money For Local Family

Do you have a lot of loose change hanging around that you have been meaning to bring into the bank?

Friday is the day to do it, as the TD Bank’s Bring Change campaign is helping raise money for Peabody resident Colleen Derrivan.

Derrivan is well known for her involvement in the community and recently received the 2014 Community Spirit Award as part of the Mary Upton Ferrin Community Service Awards presented by the chamber of commerce.

Derrivan suffered a stroke in January and is now unable to work at the position she has held for many years.

The hope and goal of the Bring Change program at TD Bank at 31 Cross St. is to provide financial support to the Derrivan family as Colleen continues with her ongoing medical treatment and recovery.

From 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at TD Bank at 31 Cross St., the community is invited to participate in a community coin counting event and fundraiser. The bank will match up to $2,000 in coins counted and donate it to the Derrivan family.

Overall, TD Bank has 500 Green Friday events planned through February 2016, and the program promises to raise more than $1 million in support of local organizations.
