The MDRA Foundation to participate in Give to the Max Day on November 19
The MDRA Foundation is set to participate in the 12th annual Give to the Max Day, set to take place Thursday, Nov. 19. Give to the Max is a giving event that raises millions each year for nearly 6,000 causes across Minnesota and beyond.
The MDRA Foundation is a 501c3 that was established in 2017. As Minnesota Distance Running Association’s philanthropic arm, its mission is to promote youth participation; provide training and education to runners; and to support the running community.
“In 2020, we were able to increase our total grants awarded to $3000 in response to recent health crises related to Covid-19 and to encourage running in diverse or marginalized communities.” says Sarah Ahlers McInerney – MDRA Operations Manager. ” Our goal is to raise $1,500 this year through Give to the Max so we can continue to support this COVID safe sport for all runners in Minnesota.”
Donate to the MDRA Foundation’s 2020 Fundraising Campaign and help support the sport we all love.
100% of your #GTMD20 donation will be used to fund grants.
