Each year Bridging Brown County names a Bridge Builder of the Year. This award is given to someone who exemplifies the organization’s mission to strengthen our community by bridging relationships of understanding and communication in Brown County. This year’s recipient is Sharon Pieschel of Springfield.

Pieschel will be presented with the Bridge Builder of the Year Award at the Bridging Brown County Annual Networking Dinner on Thursday, October 27th. The event will be held at the Community Center in Comfrey with a social hour starting at 5:30 p.m. and dinner served at 6:30 p.m.

Along with the presentation of the award, there will be a silent auction, live auction, and wine pull. Tickets for the dinner are $45 and are available at most local financial institutions or by contacting one of our board members. Fell free to email our director bridgingbrowncountydirector@gmail.com to get in touch with a local board member.
