TD has launched its annual TD Thanks You campaign to personally recognize and reward outstanding customers whose community contributions have enriched the lives of those around them. The 2021 recipients have all demonstrated a commitment to spreading optimism and supporting their neighbours during these challenging times, without asking for anything in return.
Beth Martin Snook and Nick Podetz, TD District Vice President
This year, one of the TD Thanks You recipients is Beth Martin Snook from Burlington, Ontario. She noticed the struggles families were facing as kids went back to school amidst tough economic times, and many parents couldn’t afford all the supplies they needed.
So, Beth brought together local volunteers and organizations to create a backpack drive. As the hub of the effort, brokering support from local businesses and supporting everyone involved, Beth strives to keep the positivity going throughout 2021 – a year which schools have been gaining more returning students – and is hard at work to figure out how to make it happen.
Nominated by Nick Podetz, District Vice President at TD, Beth will receive 100 backpacks filled with back-to-school supplies to support her tireless work of making sure that every kid in her community is given the tools they need to succeed in school. The gift has been presented to Beth, and images from the surprise can be found here.
