DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2024 / Arrow Electronics has teamed with the Colorado Rockies to support Denver-area youth to open the 2024 Major League Baseball season.
On Opening Day, Arrow and the Rockies honored the nonprofit A Precious Child that provides essential resources and services to children in the Denver metro area. Nine-year-old Angelica Bedolla, who has benefitted from A Precious Child's programming, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Coors Field.
Arrow employees have volunteered at A Precious Child's resource center and the company has supported the organization through holiday gift drives and financial donations.
Arrow also participated in the Colorado Rockies 13th Annual STEM Day, a celebration of science, technology, engineering and math learning. More than 10,000 students, teachers and parents attended the event, hosted by science educator and Emmy Award-winning television personality Steve Spangler.
