The Rye TD Bank Store is the Platinum Sponsor for this event. TD Bank in Rye is giving out coin banks to help children collect their coins. They also will also be on-site at the event to help collect the coins and then count them in their Penny Arcade.

(If you are unable to attend the event, bring your coins to TD Bank Rye where they will be counted via Penny Arcade).

Sole Ryeders’ volunteers will be available to:
