Remembering George Floyd
This May, we pay tribute to the memory of George Floyd and the powerful movement that his death sparked across the globe to put an end to racism and violence against BIPOC.
​
This campaign raised a total of $3200 in support of the below charities!
​
Our Mission.
At NPX, our goal is to continue spreading awareness about the racial injustices happening all around us. On our social media, we will be highlighting the impacts of the BLM movement so far, spotlighting and donating to Black-focused charitable organizations and offering prizes from local Black-owned businesses for spreading the word for the month of May.
