bmk in the Community
bmk also maintains ties within the local Afghan community by sponsoring and participating in charitable events such as a fall fund raiser for The Nowzad Dogs Animal Shelter. The original aim of this charity was to support serving soldiers on the front lines of Afghanistan rescue the companion animals they had adopted during their tour of duty.
To date, Nowzad has assisted over 700 soldiers serving in Afghanistan to be reunited back in their home countries (USA, UK, Canada, Italy, South Africa, Australia, Holland and Germany) with the dog or cat that adopted them while serving in Afghanistan.
In the fall of 2014, bmk co-sponsored and hosted a 24 Hour Run/Walk Marathon on an 875-meter course that included 110 steps of climbing with each lap around the course. bmk and Raven Rae Resources raised more than $4,000 to contribute to this charity.
