For our annual holiday fundraiser this year, NRCE staff chose to raise funds for local non-profit, Crossroads Safehouse. The firm hosted a Penny Wars Challenge, and timed the donation with Colorado Gives a Day, which allowed every dollar raised to be matched by the Crossroads Safehouse Board of Directions.  NRCE staff raised over $1,100 during this 2 week challenge, and after the donation match from the Board, was able to donate over $2,200 to the Safehouse!

Every holiday season, NRCE staff comes together to give back to our community. This year we hosted a Penny Wars Challenge, with all proceeds to benefit local non-profit restaurant, FoCo Cafe. NRCE staff raised over $500 during this 2 week challenge, and after a donation match from the company, was able to donate over $1,000 to the Cafe! Staff loved the challenge so much that we’re already brainstorming ideas for next year.

NRCE’s President, Dr. Woldezion Mesghinna, published a book in 2016 titled How Sub-Saharan Africa Can Achieve Food Security. Colorado State University interviewed Dr. Mesghinna about his book, and shared it via the following outlets in our local community. According to the Producer at CSU’s radio station, it was the most listened to interview she’s ever produced.
