I am very proud to announce that Bricks for Brains (www.BricksForBrains.org) has just received word from the IRS that our application for tax-exempt status has been approved.

This will open doors for us in areas such as facility usage, grants, partnership with museums and educational institutions, donations, fund raising, and more.

Bricks for Brains is an organization through which I do educational work with LEGO. We have formed our board, achieved 501c3 tax-exempt status, and now we move on to designing and implementing more hands-on exhibits and other educational services and products.

We are quite excited!

Congradulations, that’s very cool. Now is your Bricks for Brains and this Bricks for Brains the same?

Thanks!

No that’s somebody else. I had hoped he would stop using it after I brought it to his attention last year.

Congrats! Now, does this mean that when you run BrickBash, you aren’t allowed to keep any of the gate proceeds? I mean, seriously, what does happen to all the monies we fork over for admission? I propose that you start divying it up amongst displaying attendees.

Hopefully by the time BB rolls around again you’ll have forgotten all about this and won’t remember to make good on your threat. ;P

It means next year admission cut in half.

Side note to those who don’t get the jokes but really have a need to know these things: nobody pockets money from Brick Bash (except the pizza delivery guy), and nobody pays admission for Brick Bash.

for Brick Bash.

And, at least from my experience, *everybody* has a very good time at BrickBash.
Congratulations Duane on this! It's great news.
