BRR is committed to the philosophy that we as individuals and as a firm must have a positive impact on the human environment as well as the built environment. To further this goal, BRR encourages participation in our firm-sponsored Community Caring Program. This benefit allows employee’s annual paid time off for volunteering with organizations of his or her choice.

BRR is proud of our employee’s annual commitment to Art Unleashed. Every year BRR employees and other artists from around Kansas City create original works (such as the one pictured above) to be auctioned off in benefit of the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City.

As a firm BRR gladly participates in organizations such as Harvesters, Habitat for Humanity and the Humane Society, just to name a few. Our staff also annually participates in fundraising events such as the Boys and Girls Club of Kansas City’s Summer Bowl for Kid’s Sake and The AIDS Walk of Kansas City.

Opportunities with AIA-sponsored public service initiatives such as CANstruction are also promoted. Each year employees participate in this competition by designing and building a structure out of canned goods that will end up feeding the hungry. In fact, BRR’s 2008 structure contains about $5,000 in canned food or 2,145 meals for the hungry and won the “Structural Ingenuity” category.
