Give to the Max Day 2024

November 21, 2024 is Give to the Max Day—Minnesota’s biggest day for charitable giving. Wherever you live, please consider making a gift today. With your support, we can provide scholarships and school supplies to help children get out of poverty and pursue a better future.

This year, all Give to the Max Day donations will benefit the Mission School. To learn more about the impact of your support for the Mission School, please see this video recapping some of the highlights of the 2024 School Year.

As you consider making a gift, we also encourage you to read this letter from a teacher at the Mission School, written for supporters like you:

Dear Friend of San Lucas,

My name is Celia García Coz, and I am a teacher at the Mission School in San Lucas. I am writing to you ask you to make a donation and to express the immense value of donations to our school. I want you to understand the profound impact you can have on our community and on the future of our students.

I want you to know that every dollar you can give will have a real impact. These contributions are not just financial support—they are an investment in the future of our children and the entire community. The resources you provide become real opportunities for our students, allowing them to study and develop in an environment that fosters critical thinking and reflection.

It’s important for you to know that your donations will benefit the children not only while they are in school but also have a lasting impact. When our students graduate, they carry with them a mindset for change. They are prepared to be agents of transformation in their communities—not only in economic aspects but also in social, political, and environmental areas. 

As is often said, education is the most powerful weapon to combat poverty. Thanks to your generosity, more students will have access to an education that would otherwise be out of reach. While in other areas quality education can be costly, here, with your help, we can offer it at essentially no cost.

On behalf of all the teachers, students, their families, and the entire community, I want to deeply thank you for your generosity. Because of you, we can move forward with the conviction that we are shaping new generations that will build a brighter future for our community.

Sincerely, 

Celia García Coz
