TD Bank's Affinity Program Pays You to Designate WE CAN
Date: December 12, 2011
TD Bank has an excitedly easy way to support WE CAN; it’s called the Affinity Program. People who are TD Bank account holders can call or go into any TD Bank, and let them know you want WE CAN to be your Affinity Program non-profit. The program is totally anonymous: WE CAN doesn’t even know who signs up. There are no costs involved; in fact, the Bank actually pays you to belong! The more TD Bank members who signed up with WE CAN as their Affinity Program non-profit, the more money WE CAN will earn, just by people designating WE CAN as their Affinity non-profit. One Cape organization just received a check for just shy of $8,000! Please see PDF below for more info.

Sesuit Harbor House joined forces with WE CAN to kick off the 2011 spring season with the first ever Sesuit Spring Spree.

The Sesuit Spring Spree also offered the community & visitors alike a fun-filled feel good afternoon. Among the many activities were shopping the handmade crafts of local women artisans where 20% of all sales benefited WE CAN and the chance to enter raffles that yielded WE CAN 100% of the proceeds.
