07.03.2008 : We surived! - We just finished the first Camp Firebelly. What an amazing experience...one we could have never possibly dreamed up. It was a life changing experience for everyone, including the counselors. Read the camp blog + take a look at the Flickr set for an inside peek into our last 10 days. I think we all see another in our future... but how could it possibly live up. The bar has been set high. Thanks to everyone who participated, paid their hard earned cash, took time out of their schedules, donated their services and most of all trusted us. Wow!

05.30.2008 : APPLICATIONS ARE IN... - Congratulations to everyone who passed the test. We are super excited about all the applicants from around the country. We've got folks coming in from NY, VA, OH, KS, WI and good ol' Chi-town. Camp starts 6/23... check out what's up daily on the camp blog.

03.19.2008 : 40 Teen Moms and Children Displaced By Fire - On Tuesday, March 18th, an accidental fire caused extensive damage to the New Moms shelter in Humboldt Park. New Moms provides temporary housing and support to young mothers and their children. Thankfully there were no injuries but now 20 young women and their children have nowhere to stay. Read the full story here.

Obviously, this hits home for Firebelly. Our studio is just 5 minutes from the New Moms shelter and our own nonprofit was built on the idea of helping people right in our neighborhood. Visit the New Moms website for more information about volunteering or to make a donation. They could really use our help.

12.20.2007 : ANNOUNCING: The Firebelly Foundation - As compassionate artists and creative problem solvers we know there's always more to be done-and better, smarter ways of doing it. While good design can change hearts and minds, we know profound, world change requires getting out and getting involved. With sustainability and cultural relevance as our founding principles, we're working towards an even higher level of social responsibility and corporate citizenship. Welcome to the Firebelly Foundation.
