Minnesotans are once again being asked to donate to an organization or group of their choice on Give to the Max Day, which began more than a decade ago.

Thursday marks the 16th anniversary of the event, which organizers say started in 2009 as a one-time campaign to mark the start of GiveMN.org. That first event ended up with $14 million raised in one day.

While early giving began on the first of the month, Give to the Max Day will last all day. You can find a list of causes by CLICKING HERE, and a list of organizations that will have donations matched by CLICKING HERE.

There are also prizes being given every 15 minutes, as well as on the hour. CLICK HERE for additional information on the prizes being given out this year, as well as the power hours, which will be at both 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.
