MinnMax's Give To The Max Charity Marathon Is This Saturday, Donate To Win Prizes! (Patreon)

Our gigantic 25-hour charity stream is happening this Saturday! Starting at 8am Central, we're streaming for 25 hours and raising money to help foster kids in Minneapolis by playing games, auctioning off rare prizes, and rotating through guests in the MinnMax Studio. Oh, and community manager Haley MacLean is flying in from Nova Scotia to join us! Here's a link to where you donate, be sure to select "Add a dedication to your donation" so you can include a public comment. bit.ly/minnmax23

In case you were wondering, yes the genie who looks a lot like Leo Vader and grants wishes to $50 donors is returning this year. The "wish" tier of donation is your chance to get creative, come up with anything... anything that's doable. Be sure to leave a comment (by selecting "Add a dedication to your donation") with your donation and include your wish, charity auction item, or consoles of choice for codes. bit.ly/minnmax23

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, Teardown, Super Crazy Rhythm Castle, Super Bomberman R2, Paper Ghost Stories: 7PM,  Dead Island 2, Sea of Stars, Luck Be A Landlord, Cities: Skylines 2, 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.

100% of donations go directly to Connections To Independence, a nonprofit in Minnesota whose mission is to "address the lack of stability among youth placements and to prepare them for a successful transition to self-sufficiency and independent living after foster care". The reason we switched over from Extra Life to Give To The Max is so we can support smaller nonprofits who are more in need, so every dollar donated counts more than ever. Donations are going through the site GiveMN and they run the Give To The Max charity drive every year. Since we had to delay things one month due to sickness, this is technically outside of their Give To The Max season but 100% of the donations are still going to the nonprofit Connections to Independence.

At the top of every hour, we'll be doing multiple charity auctions for folks in the US only. You enter your bid in the YouTube chat, this is how much you're willing to donate to help the foster kids. If you're the winning bid, you click this link and make your donation and include the item you won in the "Add a dedication to your donation" section of the donation page. https://bit.ly/minnmax23
