Minnkota’s employee Jeans Day Fund took advantage of the generous giving match of Giving Hearts Day by donating to four organizations that support mental health and the region’s youth.

The committee chose the following causes to receive $250 each, which will be matched to $500 by Giving Hearts Day sponsors:

Minnkota employees donate toward the Jeans Day Fund for the privilege of wearing jeans on Fridays and during other times throughout the year. More than $62,000 has been raised through the program in the last decade for nonprofits and others in need.

Giving Hearts Day is an annual 24-hour giving event that supports charities in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. Last year alone, Giving Hearts Day raised more than $19 million in donations for the regional causes involved. To learn more or to donate, go to www.GivingHeartsDay.org.
