In honor of the groundbreaking debut of “Star Trek” on September 8, 1966, and its enduring legacy of inclusivity, optimism, and hope, fans will have a chance to give back to the inclusive community of fans that “Star Trek” has fostered over the years. The “Star Trek” franchise is making a donation to Code.org, DoSomething.org and Outright International, while also encouraging fans to take on the mission of giving back with this worldwide social activation.

Enterprise captain’s chair, while on Sept. 8 activations in Berlin, Germany, at the ALEXA Mall and in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the Richmond Centre will feature a modern architectural interpretation of the captain’s chair crafted from sustainable materials.
