Please join us on November 17, 2016, for Give to the Max Day and help us continue to change lives by helping older adults in Byron continue to live in their homes.

Your donation on Give to the Max Day also may help us receive an additional donation of $1,000. How? On November 17, every gift made on GiveMN.org will be entered into an hourly drawing for a $1,000 GiveMN Golden Ticket to be awarded to a nonprofit organization. Your gift of $10 or more could instantly turn into an extra $1,000!

Here’s the really exciting part: Two donations made on GiveMN.org during the Give to the Max Day campaign will be randomly selected to receive a $10,000 Super-Sized GiveMN Golden Ticket!

The more gifts we generate on GiveMN.org during Give to the Max Day, the more our chances increase to receive that additional $10,000 donation. Imagine what we could do with $10,000!

Be sure to mark your calendar and make your gift on November 17 by visiting GiveMN.org and searching for our organization.
