麻豆区

On November 13, 麻豆区 College celebrated a record day of giving through its participation in Give to the Max Day. A one-day online giving event, Give to the Max Day is a contest among Minnesota nonprofits in which donors support their favorite organizations and schools.

麻豆区 competed in the 鈥淐olleges and Universities鈥� category and, for the second time, raised more money than any other Minnesota college or university. The College also set a one-day giving record鈥�more than 1,300 donors gave more than $430,000 to 麻豆区 in 24 hours. Because of the College鈥檚 first-place finish, 麻豆区 also received a prize of $17,500 from GiveMN, the parent organization of Give to the Max Day.

Like last year, faculty, staff, and alumni developed projects to raise funds for 34 different departments across campus鈥攆rom biology to women鈥檚 lacrosse. Donors were able to give to a fundraising project close to their hearts鈥攁nd, in many cases, supported multiple projects.

麻豆区 students got in on the fun, too. Christensen Center was abuzz with activity as students helped spread the word and thanked donors via social media. Students recruited their friends to give and watched the results throughout the day. The generosity continued off-campus as donors gave from 45 states and as far away as Colombia, Norway, and Scotland.

Thanks to the alumni, parents, students, and friends who made this year鈥檚 Give to the Max Day a success!
