Fear Less Build More  
Back in June, we introduced you to  
link  
Girls Garage,  
the bad to the bone nonprofit that encourages  
young girls to own their strength and take charge of their future while teaching them how to build  
and create, well, pretty much anything.  
Skateboarding, screen printing, intricate metalwork these  
girls can do it all.  
And now you can see them in action!  
We recently launched the  
link  
new Girls Garage website  
and rolled  
out the full beautiful, badass identity system.  
We designed a tough as nails logo and typeface,  
suite of custom illustrations and badges, graphics that proudly adorn the walls of their brand new  
home, and of course, the small, but mighty site that lovingly tells the organization's story and  
reflects the indomitable spirit of their Fearless Builder Girls.  
Girls Garage may be based in California, but that shouldn't stop you from donating, reading and  
link  
supporting their mission  
however you can.

Check out the new site!

New Collaborations  
We sure do like a new challenge around these parts, so when  
link  
Grant Thornton  
came knocking on our  
doors with a few questions about our process, we were intrigued.  
What could one of the world’s  
leading independent financial advisory firms want from a small team of hardworking outsiders  
obsessed with typography, language and post it notes?  
As it turns out, quite a bit!  
We’ve been brainstorming and strategizing with Grant Thornton on a  
number of potential projects, exploring how to push their brand to the next level as the firm leans  
into the future alongside their worldwide clientele.  
Ours is a unique partnership, one that is sure  
to yield some beautiful work in the months ahead. Keep an eye out, Chicago!

We did it!

Reason to Give's  
8th Annual Back to School Drive was once again a resounding success.  
We  
were able to provide 100 neighborhood students, from kindergarten to high school, with supplies and  
backpacks for the new school year.  
And we couldn’t have done it without help from all of you, our  
generous Firebelly family!  
On September 1st, each child received a  
link  
Kitz for Kids  
pack of supplies, complete with all the tools  
they'll need to learn and succeed in the classroom.  
As always, thank you, thank you, a thousand  
times, thank you for your continued support.  
We cannot wait to see what this year has in store for  
the kids!  
link  
See how you've helped!

Crosspark Challenge  
trophy goes to…...

Someoddpilot  
The SOP team (aka Annika  
and Anton  the Russian ) threw down hard in limbo, knockout and kickball to take home the W for the  
designer’s field day.  
Humboldt Park witnessed over 50 designers, developers and just plain rad folks come together to  
bare some skin and partake in high stakes competition.  
After some intense volleyball matches, a  
nail biting corn hole tournament , and a disturbing pie eating showdown, we moved the party to a  
nearby rooftop where we ate mounds of pizza and received super official medals, including Biggest  
Bro, Best Trash Talker and the coveted Best Legs.  
Highest of fives to

Leo Burnett Dept of Design  
and

One Design  
for being fierce opponents and to our  
lovely referees for keeping us all honest.  
We’ve already begun training for next year’s  
Crosspark our sights are set on that trophy.
