August Give: Brown Boys Benefit

For our August Give Back, we were honored to support Brown Boys Benefit, a Minnesota-based nonprofit dedicated to helping families with premature babies in the NICU. Through this partnership, we donated organic bodysuits to support families during their NICU journeys and bring a little extra comfort to their babies.

Brown Boys Benefit is a Minnesota-based nonprofit born out of unimaginable grief and extraordinary love. After losing their first son, Colton, at just 12 days old following a premature birth, and then enduring a second high-risk pregnancy with their son Ryland—who spent 62 days in the NICU—the founders knew they had to turn their pain into purpose.

Since 2008, Brown Boys Benefit has raised over $1.5 million to support NICU families and babies across Minnesota. Their mission is simple: to help the 5,000 babies born prematurely in Minnesota each year by funding critical NICU programs, supporting perinatal mental health, providing hospital and family grants, and ensuring every family receives the love and resources they deserve.

Their efforts have helped launch and sustain NICU Family Support Programs at four major Twin Cities hospitals, while also supporting initiatives like the Breast Milk Equity Project, Lactation Care Kits, and seasonal support efforts like providing Christmas gifts and Mother’s Day flowers to families in the NICU.

We are proud to partner with such a compassionate and impactful organization. Brown Boys Benefit continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of NICU families across Minnesota through programs that offer hope, healing, and tangible support.
