We’ve only had a week to build it up, BUT the MaxFun Drive is here! Thank you so, so much for being a part of the Maximum Fun community! We couldn’t do what we do without the support of our community and MaxFun members. It means so much to us that folks care enough about MaxFun shows to help us make them. You’re going to hear a lot more from us about how much we appreciate our members—and you’ll be hearing from some members themselves this year! If you’d like to be one of the members we feature this MaxFunDrive, please call 347-762-9386 or email maxfunmemberstories@gmail.com to let us know why you’re a MaxFun member. You might be featured on one of our shows! Now, let’s get into it!
If you’re just here to scope out this year’s gifts, scroll on down to the next section. If this is the first time you’ve heard about the 2020 MaxFunDrive, please read last week’s post where I turned my chair backwards and sat down for some real talk about how this Drive is different. Like how we’re running it for four weeks instead of two so we can lessen the intensity of it throughout and use that extra time to bring the community together for weekly livestreams for charity (note: get tickets to Pub Trivia with John Hodgman and Chuck Bryant).
Throughout this four-week MaxFunDrive, we’ll be slowly releasing new features that we’ve never had available before—like the ability to BOOST your membership to in-between levels, and the option to gift a membership to a friend or anonymous MaxFunster!
One big thing remains the same: the MaxFunDrive is the main way our audience-supported network of shows makes money for the whole year. For it to work, well, we have to ask for money. So we’re going to do that. We’re going to do it more gently , though, because that’s what feels right to us this year. And if this is not your year to support with your wallet, we totally understand! There are a bunch of free ways to join in!
The MaxFunDrive is also still going to have:
- Fantastic shows!
- Delightful guests!
- Some boco surprises (like some recipes from the MaxFun Family Cookbook)!
- Livestreamed events (like Pub Trivia on July 18 and the MaxFun Dinner Party on July 24!)
- AND of course…
THANK-YOU GIFTS!
