How A $10 Donation Could Result in 1,000 Kids Having A Happy Birthday

 You've probably heard by now about the $10,000 Golden Ticket which will be given out on Thursday, Nov. 14 by GiveMN as part of their Give To The Max Day promotion. In a random drawing, one donor's name will be drawn and they get to choose which nonprofit gets $10,000. It's fun to see thousands of nonprofits all hoping that the lucky recipient will be one of their donors.

There's no limit to the number of charities you can support on that day, and hopefully many people will choose to support many of the causes they are passionate about.

Cheerful Givers  is just one local nonprofit that is hoping you will feel generous on Thursday and want to give the gift of a Happy Birthday to a local child.  And we wouldn't mind getting that golden ticket!
