A very special young girl died of cancer, but, before she did, she wanted to help others and find a cure. So check your change purse and pockets because every penny counts for this great cause.

If everyone were to simply donate the spare change they have laying around...it could add up to really helping a worthy cause.

TD Bank in Neptune is hosting a coin counting event for The Hannah Duffy Foundation this Friday, October 23rd. TD Bank will match up to $2,000 in coins donated for the foundation!

Did you know about Hannah Duffy? She was a 14 year old girl who lost her courageous battle against brain cancer in September of 2013. And she had two wishes: to never be forgotten and to continue to fight for a cure.

So The Hannah Duffy Foundation is working to keep this dream alive. Each year the Foundation offers two academic scholarships for local graduating seniors. That's why they try to raise as much money as possible and your help would be greatly appreciated.

To drop off your coin donation, go to the TD Bank at 2200 Rt. 66 in Neptune on Friday, October 23rd, from 8:30 am - 4 pm.
