BrEpic honors Allstate, We Are Able at Arlington Race Track

Allstate received BrEpic's Founders Award, while the nonprofit We Are Able earned a $500 donation

BrEpic Communications LLC, run by Justin Breen, hosted its first annual Client Appreciation Day on June 9 at Arlington Race Track.
BrEpic awarded its first Founders Award to Allstate and The Allstate Foundation in honor of their exceptionally strong partnership. In the 11 months of Allstate and BrEpic’s partnership, The Allstate Foundation has been featured in mainstream media 60 times.
BrEpic also donated $500 to We Are Able, a nonprofit founded and led by Chicago native Griffen Saul. In its partnership with Allstate, BrEpic helped We Are Able be featured in numerous mainstream media stories. Saul founded We Are Able after the death of his father, Brad, to continue his legacy of championing for greater understanding of people with disabilities. Brad Saul had been diagnosed with advanced multiple sclerosis in 1990, and had lived in a wheelchair for decades before his health began to decline. The We Are Able initiative educates people on proper disability etiquette, engages in a dialogue on the difference between sympathy and empathy, and take action on accessibility barriers facing communities.
BrEpic clients include Allstate, University of Illinois, The Chicago Academy for the Arts, McCormick Foundation, Salvation Army, LISC Chicago, Bottom Line Chicago, A Better Chicago, Burwood Group, Cofield Advisors, Quintessa Aesthetic Center and Pivotal Impact.
Breen, a Northbrook native, lives in Glenview with his wife, Sarah, and their two sons, Jake and Chase.
