It’s Give to the Max Day 2012

Community organizations locally and statewide will be seeking to raise money on Thursday during Give to the Max Day 2012.

It’s time for Apple Valley and Rosemount residents to “Give to the Max.”

Each year, a 24-hour period—known as Give to the Max Day, which started at midnight Thursday, Nov. 15, this year—allows for everyone to flex their philanthropic muscle and offers hourly $1,000 bonuses for organizations receiving donations during that time. One $10,000 "golden ticket" bonus will be handed out as well.
