Give at: givemn.org/story/Wecabmn21
WeCAB is participating in the 13th annual Give to the Max giving event taking place this year starting on Monday, Nov. 1 and culminating on Thursday, Nov. 18, 2021. Give to the Max is a statewide giving event that raises millions each year for more than 6,000 causes across Minnesota and beyond. Considered Minnesota’s holiday for generosity, donors have given more than $225 million since the inaugural Give to the Max Day in 2009.
WeCAB is a network of volunteers whose mission is to provide safe, affordable, flexible and supplemental transportation. “We hope to raise $3,600 this year, which is the equivalent of 360 rides greater than 30 miles, or the equivalent of one year of office rental space for us” Stephanie Alexander, Executive Director of WeCAB.
Give To the Max
“Last year, we saw more donors and organizations participating in Give to the Max than ever before, crossing the $30 million mark for the very first time,” said Jake Blumberg, executive director of GiveMN, the nonprofit that hosts Give to the Max. “Nonprofits and schools across Minnesota are still meeting record levels of need around the COVID-19 pandemic, disasters like this summer’s wildfires, continuing to advance social justice, and much more. We’re encouraging everyone to keep their foot on the generosity pedal this year and help organizations continue to be resilient for the work ahead of them.”
To participate in Give to the Max, donors should visit GiveMN.org and search for WeCAB by name, or donate now. Early Giving for Give to the Max begins Nov. 1 and continues through Give to the Max Day on Nov. 18, with random drawings for more than $100,000 in prize grants for Minnesota organizations throughout the event.
Each donation made through GiveMN.org qualifies WeCAB for additional grants from the Give to the Max prize pool, thanks to the continued generosity of the Bush Foundation.
GiveMN will award:
- $500 Early Giving Golden Ticket prizes daily Nov. 1-17
- $500 Golden Ticket prizes every 15 minutes on Nov. 18
- $1,000 Hourly Golden Ticket prizes every hour on Nov. 18
- $6,000 Power Hour prizes, shared among the top three organizations based on amount raised between 10:00–10:59 a.m. and 10:00–10:59 p.m.
- The Give to the Max grand prize, a $10,000 Super-sized Golden Ticket from all donations made through GiveMN.org Nov. 1-18
