TORONTO, Nov. 26 /CNW/ - TD Bank Financial Group today launched its
annual TD Children's Health Fund campaign in support of Children's Miracle
Network. During the campaign, TD customers (including employees) conducting
in-branch banking, telephone banking or Internet banking through EasyWeb will
be offered the option of registering for automated monthly donations to
support children's health. In 2006, TD raised $5.1 million for 14 Children's
Miracle Network hospitals across Canada and this year's campaign runs from
November 26 to December 28, 2007.

    Facts about the TD Children's Health Fund and Children's Miracle Network:
    -   TD Bank Financial Group matches every $1 donated to Children's
        Miracle Network through the automated monthly donation program up to
        $1 million annually.
    -   100% of every dollar donated is allocated to the children's hospital
        foundation assigned to the branch where the donation was made; this
        ensures donations are used for funding projects in the community
        where the donation originated.
    -   Every year, Children's Miracle Network hospitals in Canada treat more
        than 2.5 million children suffering from all types of diseases and
        serious injuries.

        education and prevention programs, and to support medical
        breakthrough research that saves the lives of countless children.
    -   TD Canada Trust Internet banking customers can establish automated
        monthly donations directly by logging into EasyWeb and clicking on
        "Special Requests" followed by "Make a Donation" from the menu on the
        left hand side of the screen.

    "TD believes in supporting the health of children because of the strong
positive impact it has on our communities," said Tim Hockey, Group Head
Personal Banking, Co-Chair TD Canada Trust and TD's children's health
champion. "We've made children's health one of our three pillars of community

Miracle Network makes it easier for our customers and employees to give to
their local children's hospital."
