Give to the Max Day - Novemeber 15, 2012

As you know, Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam (HSCV) is making a difference every day by providing education opportunities, food and shelter. Your generous support means the world to hundred of vulnerable Vietnamese children now more than ever.

Join us on November 15, Minnesota’s Give to the Max Day, and help us win a Golden Ticket by making a $10 donation. At the end of Give to the Max Day, one donation from across Minnesota will be randomly selected for a $10,000 Supersized Golden Ticket! Help us increase our odds by making your gift on November 15 by visiting www.GiveMN.org and searching for Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam. The more donations made during the 24 hours of the event, the greater our chance of winning the Golden Ticket! 

We are also excited to announce that we have secured a matching grant of $500, which means the first $500 donated will automatically double. Your donation of $10 will become $20 used to help the children. Donations can be made from anywhere in the world, and you do not have to be from Minnesota to participate! 

This is HSCV’s first year participating in The Great Minnesota Give Together and we need your support to make it a success. Together, we hope to raise more than $3,000 on Give to the Max Day and we’re counting on your help! 

$3,000 is enough money to support 15 families with a one-year supply of rice. Rice is donated alongside educational scholarships and is vital to increasing the chances that the children will remain in school. We attribute our high retention rate directly to the extra support and personal attention we provide our families. 

Follow us on Facebook, by searching for Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam and liking our page, so you can share in the excitement of the giving day and remember to give on November 15.

Donations must be made on November 15 to qualify for the $10,000 Supersized Golden Ticket! Mark your calendars to help us increase our odds by making your gift by visiting www.GiveMN.org and supporting Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam!
