This summer, they reunited almost 100 of their New York fashion week design bloggers to attend a three day reunion in Memphis, Tennessee. Why Memphis? Memphis is the home to <a href="https://www.stjude.org/stjude/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f87d4c2a71fca210VgnVCM1000001e0215acRCRD">St. Jude</a></span><a href="https://www.stjude.org/stjude/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f87d4c2a71fca210VgnVCM1000001e0215acRCRD"><span style="font-size: large;">s Children</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.stjude.org/stjude/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f87d4c2a71fca210VgnVCM1000001e0215acRCRD">s Research Hospital,</a> their charity of choice. Brizo is passionate about improving lives, whether that involves designing cutting edge bath and kitchen fixtures that are as beautiful as they are efficient or giving back to the community that surrounds them. As an invited guest on this all expense paid trip, I was introduced to other design bloggers who share the #blogger19 alum status, and was taken on a guided tour of the St. Jude campus as part of our 3-day reunion experience.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">TARGET HOUSE TOUR</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRZC8RPIKWrz3RjTfIN1Pph5l6sCrWnOq4YwC81O3gM5fc7x-iBIPy4vhemDKkPIVpapfq0qcd1LiJRoAuxnLrF0x_63yokssZ3ATktmsqx2RHc9O7S5WNj-nMzGi9ygF3J-5tB1SH5011/s1600/TargetHouse-statue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRZC8RPIKWrz3RjTfIN1Pph5l6sCrWnOq4YwC81O3gM5fc7x-iBIPy4vhemDKkPIVpapfq0qcd1LiJRoAuxnLrF0x_63yokssZ3ATktmsqx2RHc9O7S5WNj-nMzGi9ygF3J-5tB1SH5011/s800/TargetHouse-statue.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The rotunda at Target House, a family residence on the St. Jude campus</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ST.

That “no child should die in the dawn of their life.” St. Jude has been leading the way in pediatric cancer research since it opened its doors in the late 1960s. They provide treatment for FREE to the children who need it most. They also provide a long-term place to stay for children AND their families during their treatment. Having spent a couple nights on various occasions at Boston Children’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s Hospital with one of my own boys, I was completely impressed with the attention given to establishing a healing environment that takes the entire family into consideration. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I will share more about what I saw at St. Jude as well as what we saw on our Brizo factory tour in another post.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> For now, I am going to take the liberty of posting a veritable scrapbook of photos from my #blogger19 reunion.
