Get Ready For MinnMax's 25-Hour Charity Stream On Saturday, December 2nd With "Give To The Max"
🕑 Added 2023-10-27 23:48:35 +0000 UTC
Greetings generous MinnMax community! On Saturday, December 2nd starting at 8am Central, we're kicking off a 25-hour marathon stream to raise money for charity! Normally this is an "Extra Life" stream, but this year we wanted to highlight a smaller nonprofit outside of the Extra Life system where every donation will have a BIG impact so this year it's a "Give To The Max" stream! We'll be rotating through MinnMax cohorts and friends of the show, playing a ton of games, and doing a big charity auction at the top of every hour. Here's a link to last year's stream for reference. This stream will be on MinnMax's YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/minnmax
The charity we're driving all support towards is called Connections To Independence and their mission is to help support foster kids in Minnesota. You can learn more about them by clicking here and watching this video. For the foster kids! Confusingly enough, we didn't come up with Give To The Max, it's a charity drive through the donation site GiveMN - where every donation made from you all increases the odds the charity will get a $100,000 bonus. It's just a nice coincidence with the name!
Here is the site where you'll be making your donations, be sure to "Add A Dedication" and include your "wish", charity auction item, and consoles of choice for codes. That's the best system for leaving a comment with your donation at the moment, but we're working on it. bit.ly/givemax23
If you donate any amount and include the game systems you own, you're automatically in the running to win a game code for stuff like Fae Farm, Party Animals, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Curse Crackers, The Making of Karateka, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, Super Bomberman R2, Paper Ghost Stories: 7PM, Dead Island 2, Sea of Stars, Cities: Skylines 2, Humanity, Baldur's Gate 3, and a whole lot more. The game codes for Switch and PlayStation are US-only, but we also have region-free codes for PC and Xbox.
Special shout-out to Hugo Pereira in the community who we contracted to create the custom Leo the Genie art, we'll be auctioning off a limited edition t-shirt featuring Leo the Genie throughout the stream. Follow Hugo on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/hugop.arts
Things are very much in flux and we want to hear your feedback, but here's a rundown of the current schedule and charity auctions. The entire stream will be in the MinnMax Studio.
