The best part of the Maximum Fun Drive is, of course, the thank you gifts. Here’s a list of these amazing treasures just waiting to be claimed by new donors. These gifts typically go in the first few days of the pledge drive, so give quickly if you want them.
To get a thank you gift, pledge at twenty dollars or more a month, and indicate your top three preferences, in order, in the field provided on the “Donate” page. We can’t promise you’ll get your first choice, but if past experience is a guide, you should get one of your picks.
