FARGO (KFGO-AM) -- Nearly 300 charities in North Dakota and western Minnesota are looking for your help during a 24-hour online give-a-thon, which begins at midnight Wednesday.
This is the 8th year of "Giving Hearts Day". Dakota Medical Foundation hosts the event along with the Impact Foundation and the Alex Stern Family Foundation.
"For many charities, it's their largest fundraiser for the year," Exec. Director of Dakota Medical Foundation Pat Traynor said. "So, it really helps them and, of course, it's happening early in the year, so, it really helps them gauge what they can do to deliver services for people of this region."
For every $10 or more pledged, matching funds are provided by Dakota Medical Foundation and community donors.
If you'd like to make a donation, you can go to www.impactgiveback.org. A list of all the charities looking for your help can be found there.
