Tomorrow is not just another day
While you’re starting your day, having your morning coffee or tea, checking out the news headlines, taking kids to school, heading to work, running errands, whatever your calendar has noted for you, think about this:
On Wednesday, our CEO/President Melissa Hanson will set out from her home in Maple Grove to walk 30 miles to the Mall of America. All day, as you go through your day, she’ll be out there, making her way south to the headquarters of this year’s Give to the Max Day.
Why is she doing this? Because 1 child out of every 3 in the U.S. is overweight or obese.
Think about that–1 out of 3.
What can you do to support Melissa’s work?
- Make a donation on Wed., Nov. 16 on our Give MN Page (click here). Donations made on Nov. 16 (and that day only) will be matched up to $10,000 by a generous anonymous donor. Not only that, but donations will help ease Melissa’s walk (click here to read how).
- Besides being matched, every hour Give MN will select a random donor who’s given during that hour to receive a “Golden Ticket”–a bonus $1000 added to their charity. If you can, please consider donating multiple times throughout the day, to increase our chances of winning one of the Golden Tickets!
- We’re also in the running for one of three prizes given to nonprofits who raise the most money. Your donation gets us one step closer to winning one of those prizes!
Finally, if you’d like to applaud the work we do and, specifically, the insane work Melissa is doing on Wednesday, please join us at the Mall of America, at the Rotunda near the ground floor East entrance, on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. as Melissa crosses the finish line and completes her Amazing Walk!
