Alliance for Families with Deaf Children

AFDC is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization whose ultimate goal is to see every deaf and hard of hearing child enjoy success in life through empowering families with resources, services and support. You can donate to AFDC by taking advantage of SunTrust's My Cause Promotion.

The promotion gives individuals a unique opportunity to reinvest in their communities and support their charities of choice. With the help of My Cause, our organization can raise funds through your donations and kick off AFDC's 2008 fundraising efforts.

Now through March 29, 2008, you can choose to have SunTrust give $100 to AFDC when you open a new SunTrust Personal or Business Checking or you can donate your SunPoints (SunTrust's reward points system) to AFDC. For more on the promotion, visit https://promotion.suntrust.com/mycause/ or http://www.affwdc.org/
