B&L sponsors a number of activities for employees and their families throughout the year including outings to the local zoo, professional and collegiate sporting, cultural and recreational events. Each office sponsors their own company picnic which includes great food, games, and other activities. The annual chili and soup cookoffs, ice cream social, wine tasting, apple and pumpkin picking, and putt-putt golf tournament (in the halls of our office) have become highly-anticipated traditions. Our annual Holiday Party is another lively event that we hold every December.

We encourage employee sports teams that compete in local recreational leagues. B&L sponsors softball, volleyball, basketball, bowling, soccer, and hockey. Win or lose, we always have a great time and put forth our best effort! B&L is always looking for new opportunities to form company teams and welcomes any suggestions.

Giving back to the communities that have supported us for 50 years is very important to us. Whether it involves money, time, or resources, we continuously seek ways to exert positive influence on our community. B&L sponsors or supports Earth Day cleanups, food and toy drives, blood drives, and numerous other fund-raising activities. We participate in the American Heart Walk and multiple corporate challenge runs. Our technical staff helps local school children at events such as the Science Olympiad and members of our staff have mentored local children in the Future City competition, resulting in regional awards, and opportunities to compete in the National Future City competition.
