Biamp Awards Grants to Six Organizations Empowering Youth Through Audiovisual Technology

Biamp announced the recipients of its 2024 Grant Program, awarding six organizations that leverage audiovisual technology to enhance the lives of youth in their communities. The program recognized five Portland-area organizations and one international recipient, each receiving grants ranging from $3,000 to $10,000.

In a somewhat unusual announcement, Sonos revealed an exclusive collaboration with the Beastie Boys: a strictly limited Beastie Boys Play:5 speaker, with all proceeds going to charity. This is the first brand collaboration in the Beastie Boys’ illustrious 39-year career and the first time the group has collaborated with artist and close friend, Barry McGee, who designed the graphic elements of the speaker. The Sonos Beastie Boys Limited Edition Play:5 will be available for purchase beginning December 2018 (USD $499) on sonos.com, at the Sonos flagship store in NYC and select retailers worldwide.
