Supporting Communities Through Giving Hearts Day

BEK Teams Up with Dakota Medical Foundation

February 2025

At BEK Cooperative, community is more than a priority—it’s at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to continue our partnership with the Dakota Medical Foundation, the driving force behind Giving Hearts Day, one of the most successful and longest-running giving days in the country. This incredible event provides a platform for charities across North Dakota and northwest Minnesota to raise vital funds for their causes.


Scheduled for February 13, this year’s Giving Hearts Day is shaping up to be another record-breaking effort. While the event officially takes place on one action-packed day, early giving has already begun, giving donors the chance to get a head start on making a difference.


For the third consecutive year, BEK TV is proud to support the Dakota Medical Foundation in amplifying its mission. We’re opening our studios to host the members of the Foundation as they share a series of interviews highlighting the remarkable charities participating in this year’s campaign. These interviews will air during our Sports coverage leading up to and on Giving Hearts Day.


On February 13, BEK TV will go even further by integrating live updates from the Dakota Medical Foundation’s website into our sports broadcasts. This means you can stay informed about the progress of this year’s campaign while cheering on your favorite teams.


If you’d like to make a donation to your favorite charity or learn more about Giving Hearts Day, visit https://app.givingheartsday.org/. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps build stronger communities and supports vital causes across the region.


Join us in celebrating generosity and community spirit this Giving Hearts Day. Together, we can make a difference!
