We’re Not Horsing Around! You Could Win One of These Prizes

Ask our charities or the beneficiaries of their services and they will tell you unequivocally that every MCC donor is a winner — because MCC donors have supported causes that benefit people, communities, and ecosystems across Maryland and the wider world. However, there’s more than one way to win with the MCC.

All Employees & Retirees who pledge or donate by 11:59 pm ET on Friday, 10/23, will be entered into a random drawing to win the:

“Horsing Around Package” featuring a complimentary month of riding lessons at Reddemeade Equestrian Center, or
“Taste of Maryland Package” with brunch for two at Blackwall Hitch.

If you donated but did not win, there’s still a chance! Once you give, you are eligible for every prize until the end of the Campaign. If you haven’t yet given, please do so now for a chance to win! Click “Give Now” above to get started. Read our Terms and Conditions here for additional details.

Charities Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Every donation you make through the MCC matters – and this rings true now perhaps more than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting all of us — especially the charities we all love and depend on. We have an opportunity to support our community and neighbors by supporting any of the nearly 1,000 participating charities in the 2020 MCC. Donating through the MCC is a simple way to spread your charitable donations over the entire year using payroll deductions.

We asked MCC’s charities to describe how they are responding to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic — both now and in the future — in 200 words or less. Click here to download an alphabetical list.

Your support is needed now more than ever. Together we build a brighter future. Together, we are One Family One Hope #MDInThisTogether. Please give today.

Watch the Virtual MCC Kickoff

Thank you to the 250+ people who joined us online on October 5, as we officially launched the 2020 MCC. For those who weren’t able to join us, we recorded the kickoff so you, too, can learn what’s new about this year’s Campaign, get details about our prize drawings, watch our new Campaign video, and most importantly, discover how the MCC helps you help others – from wherever you are.

You’ve got questions; we’ve got answers. Click here to find the information you need.

Meet the Charities You Can Support Through the 2020 MCC

Check out videos submitted by the charities you can support through the 2020 MCC. With 140+ videos to choose from, we know you’ll find one that captures your heart. Play it in shuffle mode, or search for the cause or organization close to your heart. Each charity is working toward a better world; each charity goes about it uniquely. Yet, without your support, none of it would be possible. Watch the playlist here or on our YouTube channel.

About the Maryland Charity Campaign

Have you seen our new MCC video? Hear from Governor Hogan, Lt. Governor Rutherford, Secretary Wobensmith, and our 2020 MCC Vice Chairs Director Tung and Special Secretary Rhee, as they go over the most important MCC details and discuss why a donation of any amount – even $1 a paycheck – makes a lasting difference. But above all, you’ll hear how we are a giant family, connected by hope. We mean it when we say we are in this together.

We are immensely grateful to the Department of Juvenile Services’ Office of Communications and Special Projects for creating our Campaign video!

Why Give Through the MCC?

Why donate? At last year’s kickoff, we asked donors why they give through the MCC. Check out their short but inspiring responses in this MCC Donor Stories Playlist. Click here or the picture below to see their videos.
