DENVER, COLORADO – AUGUST 29, 2009 — Nan Desu Kan (NDK), Denver’s premier anime convention, will return Sept. 11-13 at the Marriott Denver Tech Center.

For thirteen years NDK has celebrated Japanese animation, music and culture.

“We’re an open door between cultures, for both long-time fans and newcomers to the world of anime,” says Jeremy Pieta, NDK President.

Since 2000, NDK has sponsored a charity auction with 100 percent of the proceeds donated to a select organization. All proceeds from this year’s auction will go to Child’s Play, a Seattle based, gamer-run organization which has raised more than $5 million in toys and cash for hospitals around the world. NDK’s donations will be used locally for patients at The Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colo.
