TWIN CITIES’ DIFFERENCE MAKERS Instead of hosting our annual BRIX customer appreciation bash this year, we chose to celebrate our community and partners a little differently: with a Silent Auction. This pandemic has exacerbated already grotesque inequalities in our communities. We wanted to show up and help out a few local nonprofits doing good work for our neighbors. We connected with so many amazing local artisans and businesses, auctioning off items ranging from a private cooking class to a sleigh ride to an interior design consultation. Thanks to our sponsors and you all, we raised almost $40,000 to invest back into our communities. We’re not glad to be in this situation, but we’re glad to be here with you.
