What do we do?
Fundraise & Educate:
Live to Give Event
We engage in hosting various games each year where we educate the public on various charities state, nation, and worldwide. During these weekend games we have people from around the country that come and educate the public on a charity that has personally affected their life. Over $200,000 has been raised for over 93 charities through these games alone.
DECA
We have partnered with high school students in the Rogers DECA program. They worked with Live To Give Minnesota on a year-long project in the category "Learning & Earning." The students based their business model on our motto: combining fun, education, and creativity to maximize fundraising efforts and outcomes. They presented this model where they placed 1st in State, 1st in Nationals, and then 1st place in the international competition, making history in the school district!
Minnesota Breast Cancer Coalition Fundraiser
We helped local high school students run a pink-themed bags tournament to raise awareness for breast cancer. We serve as a space for people in the local community to educate others via activities. Many of these fundraisers also serve as a space for grieving & healing. At this specific event, the high school students raised over $1,000 for the Minnesota Breast Cancer Coalition.
Spread Awareness & Support Our Local Community:
We rally the local community in online video chats & games to bring awareness, education, and fiscal support to local happenings.
Sunday Burquest Benefit
Sunday Burquest, a local leader, did not have her chemotherapy covered by adequate insurance as she battled stage 4 esophageal & ovarian cancer. We stepped in to help raise awareness & funds for this too-common occurrence.
Minneapolis Foundation Online Benefit
In 2020, we stepped in to support the Minneapolis Foundation's Cultural Initiative Program and used our platform to create awareness on racial issues while fundraising for their programs online.
CROSS Services Support
We host various food drives & fundraisers for CROSS Services in our local community to help support their programs that help feed & house those in the Rogers community.
