PRESS RELEASE

BBVA Compass For Your Cause Helps Fathers For Equal Rights Promote Healthy Families And Responsible Parenting.

BBVA Compass and its customers are helping Fathers For Equal Rights raise much-needed funds for dads and children through a program called BBVA Compass For Your Cause. Through BBVA Compass For Your Cause, BBVA Compass will donate $50 to Fathers for Equal Rights for each supporter that opens a new Compass checking Account associated with Fathers for Equal Rights. In addition, BBVA Compass will pay Fathers for Equal Rights a percentage of the purchase price of all qualifying signature-based transactions supporters make with their check card.

As a financial institution whose vision is to work for a better future for people, BBVA Compass believes in supporting organizations which help to sustain and strengthen the local communities that they serve.

Here's how simple this is. If you are already a Compass bank member ask their staff to link your personal checking account to "affinity #97375". There is NO COST to you.

If you are NOT happy with your bank and thinking of making a change, give Compass a try. Tell them that you were referred by Fathers for Equal Rights and to link your account to "affinity # 97375".

That's It!

Thanks for your Support,
