Give to the Max begins at midnight, and with dozens of prize grant opportunities, any gift – including yours – could be one that helps secure additional support for Saint Mary’s students. Here are a few ways to maximize our chances:
- On November 17, make gifts in the wee hours or late night when fewer people are online.
- Divide your gift into smaller portions over the day, breaking one chance down into multiple opportunities.
- Aim big by making your gift during a Power Hour at 10:00 – 11:00 AM or 10:00 – 11:00 PM. The top three earning organizations during these hours will split a $6,000 prize.
- Work as a team. If you and your friends are participating, coordinate your giving so that gifts are given at different times throughout the day.
- Help spread the word by sharing social media messages about this one-day opportunity.
