At NDK, we always look for charities that reach for the betterment of the
world around us. This year, we look to the possibility of a brighter future.
We sought to find an organization that cultivates and encourages the
innovators of tomorrow. What better way to do this than setting fire to
children's interests in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
We are proud to announce ColoradoFIRST as our charity this year. Through
such events as the FIRST Robotics Competition and the FIRST Tech Challenge,
they bring together children, mentors and technology, as Dean Kamen the
FIRST Founder said, "...to create a world where science and technology are
celebrated... where young people dream of becoming science and technology
heroes."
We are very enthusiastic about partnering with this charity, and that it is
all too appropriate that Colorado FIRST teaches children to learn teamwork
through building battling robots! What could be more like anime? Let's all
pitch in together and help ColoradoFIRST teach and inspire the children who
will build our brighter tomorrow.

While looking to the future, we also remember those who hunger here and now.
Bring at least 2 non-perishable food items to NDK's Volunteer desk and we'll
give you a exclusive, reusable tote bag to say thank you. Your donated food
will go to Food Bank of the Rockies to help fight hunger in our community.
While our supply of tote bags is limited, our thanks are not. We are
thankful for the ability to make a difference in our community, and thankful
for your support year after year. We look forward to helping those who will
now be able to see the end of the week before the end of the food on their
table.
