The TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, has donated $2,500 to the Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District (BID) to help beautify the neighborhood.
Sunnyside Shines is directing the funds toward its graffiti removal program, which cleans graffiti from storefronts and roll-down gates within the commercial district. The BID has stepped up its efforts to remove graffiti, with the recent introduction of a monthly removal program.
Rachel Thieme, executive director of the Sunnyside Shines BID said: “We are extremely grateful for this generous award from the TD Charitable Foundation. Removing graffiti on a monthly basis helps maintain a clean and safe commercial district, and also helps attract new businesses to Sunnyside.”
