Thursday, February 10
Dating back to its inception and some $112 million in contributions later, the longest-running public fundraising event of its kind is slated again for Thursday, Feb. 10. Running for 24 hours, and with over 500 participating charities there for you to easily support with your donations, there are bunches of reasons to get involved early, particularly prizes to be won by those pledging to donate or volunteer. Big prizes: a car, health club membership, getaways, money, golf and what not? Enter the sweepstakes online early and then join in to make Feb. 10 another record day for charities in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. For more information, call 701-271-0263 or email GHDInfo@DakMed.org
