Today is Give to the Max Day<\/a> in Minnesota. \u00a0It is your chance to support your favorite MN nonprofit organizations. \u00a0Why is today special? One donation each hour is a Golden Ticket, earning the recipient an extra $1,000. \u00a0Additionally there are awards of up to $15,000 given in a variety of categories.<\/p>\n

This year, in the first hour of giving $100,000 was given! In 2010, over $10 million was raised by 42,000 Minnesotans. \u00a0Each year (2009<\/a>, 2010<\/a>) I’ve provided a list of running related organizations you could support. \u00a0This year’s list is sadly smaller. \u00a0I’ve decided only to highlight organizations that have completed the GiveMN <\/a>portal’s profile.<\/p>\n

In no particular order:<\/p>\n

Bolder Options<\/a> – youth mentoring<\/p>\n

YWCA of Minneapolis<\/a> – fitness, youth, women, and so much more<\/p>\n

YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis<\/a> – fitness, youth, and so much more<\/p>\n

She Runs<\/a> – helping young girls complete their first 5k<\/p>\n

Twin Cities in Motion<\/a> – Support TCM’s community work<\/p>\n

Team Tesfa<\/a> – support education in Ethiopia<\/p>\n

Midtown Greenway Coalition<\/a> – support the Midtown Greenway<\/p>\n

I’m sure I’ve missed some great running organizations. \u00a0Let me know which ones and I’ll gladly update the list.<\/p>\n
