On Thursday, November 21, JXTA celebrated Give to the Max Day, Minnesota’s largest fundraising event, with incredible success! Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we raised $34,538—all of which will go directly toward empowering youth, uplifting them, equipping them, and supporting their dreams.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing 142 donors! 🎉 We are beyond grateful for your support and commitment. Your donations are helping us continue our mission and make magic happen every day. A special thanks to GiveMN for hosting another successful Give to the Max Day, and a warm welcome to all our first-time donors—we’re thrilled to have you join the JXTA family! 🫶🏾
Thanks to your generous contributions, we also had the opportunity to add names to our graffiti wall, with each donor of $100 or more being proudly displayed on our campus until June 2025. What an amazing way to honor everyone who made this event such a success!
With every dollar matched by a generous anonymous donor, your contributions went even further, making this day a monumental success. Let’s take a moment to celebrate this achievement together and continue to raise our voices in support of youth and the arts. We did it! 🙌🏾
