FASD – What it is and what it means to the BPI Color Family

Monday our President Steve Mueller and his wife Cindy turned BPI Milwaukee’s demo room into a production studio to participate in the creation of a documentary about FASD—Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.  Ten individuals were interviewed throughout the day including medical professionals, clinicians, therapists, and parents.  The goal of this documentary is to build awareness about FASD…a preventable, highly prevalent, and lifelong disability caused by prenatal alcohol exposure which is 100% preventable by not consuming any alcohol throughout the duration of pregnancy. Shouldn’t every child  have the right to a healthy start?

Delicious brats, burgers, chicken, cool refreshments, a brilliant sunny day and a Team second to none and their special significant “others” celebrated at the BPI Company Brewer outing this past Sunday.

After successfully navigating 8 vehicles of the BPI motorcade into the same parking area amongst 33,000 attendees for the game, the BPI Team once again proved it can accomplish anything it sets its mind too! The only thing our cheering couldn’t contribute to was a Brewer or Packer win. Good time had by all! Delicious brats, burgers, chicken, cool refreshments, a brilliant sunny day and a Team second to none and their special significant “others” celebrated at the BPI Company Brewer outing this past Sunday.
