[Mn-parents] Give To The Max Day--You Can Help!

[Jennifer Dunnam]

Dear Minnesota Federationists and Friends,

Today, November 16, 2011, is Give to the Max Day—a day to inspire
unprecedented levels of charitable giving in the state of Minnesota,
concentrated in one day.  It runs until 11:59 PM tonight. Just as we
did last year, both NFB of Minnesota and BLIND Inc. will be
participating.  Every dollar given to either NFB of MN or BLIND Inc.
will help all of us by improving opportunities and making life better
for blind people in Minnesota and everywhere.  Please support the
important work of
the National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota
http://givemn.razoo.com/story/National-Federation-Of-The-Blind-Of-Minnesota
and/or
BLIND Incorporated
http://givemn.razoo.com/story/Blindness-Training-For-Independence-And-Employment
during Give to the Max Day, and share the opportunity with your
contacts on twitter, Facebook, email, word-of-mouth, etc.! Please read
below for more information.

Here are some extra reasons to give on November 16th:

1.	You could win a Golden Ticket and turn a donation of $10 into
$1,010! Golden Tickets are drawn each hour for 24 hours and $1,000 is
added to a random donor's donation.
2.	You'll help us compete for "the most dollars raised" and prize
grants of $5,000, $7,500, $10,000 or even $15,000!
3.	You could win the Grand Golden Ticket, that's $10,000 added to your
donation. The name of one lucky donor will be drawn at 11:59 p.m. and
add $10,000 to their donation. The more times you give throughout
November 16, the more chances to win $10,000 for your organization!

Make A Mobile Donation!

Making a donation from your PC works just fine.  However, if you'd
like to make a donation from your mobile device, that's also quick and
clean on GiveMN.org. You don’t even need an account. Simply enter your
name, address and credit card information, then click “donate.”

There are, however, two great reasons to log into your account while
using the mobile site:

1)      Your donation is recorded so that you can track your charitable giving
2)      You don’t have to re-enter your credit card information

National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota

Blind, and we have local chapters throughout the state.  We provide
