At YBIMC, we believe in the power of storytelling and the unbounded potential of brands. We are also well aware that this has been a particularly fraught year for everyone on earth. So this year, instead of trinkets, gifts and parties, we are telling the stories of some of our friends who do incredible work to make our world better.
In so doing, we are celebrating the unbounded potential of the human spirit. We have proudly donated to the following charities – and hope, if you are able to, you might consider doing the same. We wish you a joyous, peaceful and safe holiday season – and a healthier new year for everyone on the planet.
