The award-winning Maltz Jupiter Theatre recently joined forces with TD Bank and received a donation of nearly $8,000 from through its Affinity Membership Program.

Maria Friedman, a manager at TD Bank’s Tequesta branch, said the company is thrilled to support Maltz Jupiter Theatre with and encourage its efforts to inspire and educate using the performing arts.

The Affinity Membership Program works by basing an annual cash contribution to a partner organization based on the average deposit balance in the organization’s “affinity” accounts.

“Any TD Bank customer can name the theater as its affinity partner, and by doing so, will help this program continue to grow,” explained Tricia Trimble, the theater’s managing director.

The contribution ceremony took place before a full house at the theater, prior to an evening performance.

Local TD Bank branches are in Jupiter, across from Seminole Landing in Juno Beach and North Palm Beach.
