Give to the Max Day

To the Editor:

Give to the Max Day, which will be on Thursday, Nov. 17th, has become Minnesota’s annual giving holiday. Every year on this day donations are made to Minnesota causes that are working to improve the quality of life in Minnesota.

This year over 30 groups in Martin County are participating in Give to the Max Day. Groups range from food shelves to schools and youth groups to preservation groups to the animal shelter. You can make a difference with your donation. Each time you make a gift during Give to the Max, you could help your favorite nonprofits or schools win part of the $100,000+ prize pool. In fact, there are 143 chances to win during Give to the Max Day and early giving, which began on Nov. 1st.

To show your support for local charities and prove Minnesota Nice is the real thing, go to www.givemn.org.

Thank you,
