Colorado GIVES Day 2017

2017COGivesDaylogoDid you know that on December 5th, 2017, you can give to any number of Colorado nonprofits who have been screened and are featured on the ColoradoGives website?  We at Awesome in Action aim to grow into such a nonprofit, where Colorado is better for having known us.

Nick loves to give and this year Nick and the AiA team would like to encourage each of you to find a Colorado nonprofit on the ColoradoGives website that meets your passion for bettering the human experience and click the “donate” button.   They have a search option to help you whittle down from the 2500+ organizations to the one right for you.

The reason for this season, no matter your type of celebration, is a spirit of giving, and we at Awesome in Action would love to hear how you gave to Colorado organizations this year!

Colorado Gives Day starts in 3 days 7 hours 3 minutes 34 seconds….33….32…..31…

Hero-making success!  Nick and the Nicksters enjoyed two days of  science fiction fun and fantasy at the 2017 Fort Collins Comic Con (FC3).  The event raises money for the Poudre libraries through geek inclusivity and fun!  FC3 raised $30,000 for the Poudre Libraries this year alone.  Here are some highlights:

From set up to show, we enjoyed such an awesome community event.

Inspired and technically perfect costumes abounded!IMG_6902sm

Nick’s speech on the Inner Hero caused inner ponderings as the inner heros developed.  Nick’s inner monologue says he is a super-genius.  IMG_6752smIMG_6806sm

The T.A.R.D.I.S. even landed at the Aztlan Center!
