And we've been talking about it for more than a
couple of days now, but so a lot of people
are getting geared up. Everybody. We need to make sure
everybody understands this is a pivotal day because we have
a lot of people who are good nature, particularly in
South Carolina, to make a lot of contributions throughout the
course of the year. But this is the day we
want to get everybody involved so that we have an
opportunity to focus on And you have probably going to

of pat charities, yes and the like. But you are
to make sure that the money is generated and then
you help that money be distributed correctly.

them that the money.

know what year this is? Is this like year eight?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
This is our thirteenth year from Midlands Gives.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, and the time is flying by, and every year
it gets bigger it does do.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
We have a particular goal for this year.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
We don't have dollars raise go, but we just want
to make sure that donors donate to two more nonprofits
this year, and we want donors to donate to a
new nonprofit that they find on the website.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Find two And you're saying the minimum donations ten dollars.
So everybody can get involved.

Speaker 2 (02:18):

Now for people like Kelly, is there a maximum donation?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
No seven figure donations?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
If you want to do seven figures donation, we will
take it, but we will suggest that you just give
that to the nonprofit because the website does have a
five percent credit card fee.

figures on my car.
