We're Helping Single Moms With MinnMax's Big Charity Stream On Saturday, November 23rd

MinnMax's big charity stream is happening on Saturday, November 23rd on our YouTube channel, it's all part of Minnesota's nonprofit push called Give To The Max. We're giving away game codes to donors AND we have a ton of amazing auction items for you to win throughout the stream, more details below.

For over a decade now we've been hosting big charity streams in November to help kids. This year, we're shaking things up and helping single moms with 100% of all donations going directly to Emerge Mothers Academy in Minneapolis. Emerge's mission is to help single moms succeed through providing services like parenting classes, grants, mom nights, financial literacy and workforce readiness courses. Their classes help single moms rise above minimum wage work and create a safer environment for their kids through independence. It's a smaller nonprofit, so your donations will have a colossal impact on helping single moms around Minneapolis. You can learn more about the nonprofit by checking out their site - https://emergetwincities.org/

You're welcome to donate now, the link to donate this year is https://bit.ly/maxmoms

Even before the stream, if you donate any amount make sure to include the game systems you own in the "dedicated to" field s that you're automatically in the running to win a game code. We literally have hundreds and hundreds of codes to give out for games like Severed Steel and more. Steam and Xbox codes are international.

We're hosting a MinnMax community meetup at Utepils Brewing in Minneapolis on Friday, November 22nd from 7-10pm. Haley MacLean and Jacob Geller will be in town. We'll have several raffle bundles available at the meetup, where you can show me an email receipt of your donation to win prizes. 1 raffle ticket for every $10 donation to Emerge Mothers Academy. You have to attend the Minneapolis meetup to win.
