Hello Robin,


The Travelers Championship will soon be here. But time is running out for Birdies for Charities, the tournament's program that helps nonprofits like the Seniors Job Bank... by boosting the value of your donation by 15%!


Your contribution to the Seniors Job Bank will help us continue to offer our no-cost service connecting people over 50 looking for full-time, part-time, temporary, and volunteer work with businesses, municipalities, homeowners, and individuals.


Donating is easy!



·        Donating online: Go to our website and click on the donation button to contribute: https://seniorsjobbankct.org/. Birdies for Charity covers all credit card and online processing fees, so 100% of your contribution will go to the Seniors Job Bank.

 

·        Donating by check: Since the Birdies program only accommodates checks for at least $200, please make those payable to Birdies for Charity and mail to: Seniors Job Bank, 50 South Main Street, Suite 216, West Hartford, CT 06107. We'll take care of getting your check to the Birdies office. Checks for smaller amounts should be made payable to Seniors Job Bank.
