Through partnerships with Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital\, Bronson Children’s Hospital\, Hospice of Michigan\, Metro Health Hospital\, Mary Free Bed\, Children’s Healing Center\, Ronald McDonald House and a host of other organizations\, BBH provides teddy bears\, care packages\, and other quality of life support to children with critical illnesses. In addition\, through its unique Youth Advisory Board service-learning program\, 40 high school students each year gain hands-on experience running a non-profit organization while gaining exposure to area business leaders\, philanthropists and medical professionals. \nOutside of BBH\, Charlie is Manager of Corporate Development for Perrigo (NYSE:PRGO)\, where he has responsibility for mergers & acquisitions and other strategic growth initiatives for the global provider of consumer self-care products\, and is Co-Founder and Partner of Renucell Group\, which produces and markets the unique natural extract Plantolin® for use by CPG companies globally as a natural solution in their skincare ranges\, in addition to marketing the Luv Ur Skin® brand of natural skincare products.
