We are partnering with Nanoogo who will be launching a Ripple Kids Challenge to help homeless animals on Sunday November 4th. You can enter for the chance to win money to adopt an animal or donate money to your favorite shelter!
Note: you don't have to live locally to enter the challenge - it's all online!
Nanoogo is an online platform for kids where they can show their ideas, challenge creativity, solve real world problems, imagine things, and share their dreams with other kids around the world.
Check out their site - it's cool! You can also register now (it's free!) so you're ready for when the challenge starts! Check out the 'upcoming challenges' for more details about the Ripple Kids Challenge.
