What Our Partners Say

“Arby’s really believes in the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Throughout the course of the Arby’s Charity Tour, over 15 million dollars has been raised, both through the proceeds of the golf tournaments and the charity auctions, and also through customer donations in our stores. But we need more donors. We need other corporations, and in particular we need individual donors.”
 - Sharron Barton, Arby’s

"CHEP supports Big Brothers Big Sisters both at the National level through our CHEP Cares Program, and locally in NW Arkansas.  I became involved several years ago as a Big.  This experience not only positively impacted the child, but the experience also changed me as a person, and has left a lasting impression.  We had a lot of fun together doing all kinds of activities.  Big Brothers Big Sisters makes a huge impact on the children in our community.  It impacts their life in such a positive way, by giving them new life experiences that will last a lifetime.  You can make that difference today for a child who needs you."
 - Larry Helton, National Account Manager, CHEP  
 
"Big Brothers Big Sisters is one of four charitable organizations that CHEP sponsors at a corporate level.  We believe the mission to serve and mentor youth is foundational in order for our society to work and grow.  At CHEP we have encouraged our employees to support BBBS’s mission through fundraising and volunteer efforts.  Additionally, during the last three years we have ensured one of our executives is a member of the BBBS's board of directors of Central Florida. For the past year, I have served on the BBBS's board and it has been rewarding and exciting to see how effectively BBBS is impacting the lives on youth and families in our communities."
 - Scott Spivey, SVP & Chief Financial Officer, CHEP

“With all the challenges and uncertainties that face children every day of their lives, it’s so critical to have a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental and consistent relationship to count on. Big Brothers Big Sisters makes that happen—fostering meaningful connections between children who thrive under the special attention…and adults who grow immeasurably through the unselfish gift of their time.  BBBS changes lives, opens doors and demonstrates possibilities.”
 - Kelly Hale Zega, Cox

“I was introduced to Big Brothers Big Sisters at a personal level by a friend who decided to be a Big. We knew she’d help her Little Sister Silvera. What we didn’t know was that Nancy’s life would be completely changed by the experience. Isn’t it extraordinary that Big Brothers Big Sisters can do that for so many more people? 100 Women in Hedge Funds is so proud to be designated by Big Brothers Big Sisters as a Visionary Leader. Like Big Brothers Big Sisters, we put a great importance on accountability and our goal was to make a difference.”
 - Dana Hall, 100 Women in Hedge Funds

 - April Hawkins, MetLife Foundation

“Simply stated, the mentoring provided by Big Brothers Big Sisters improves the human condition for children in this country. It is a fact that the more someone cares about you, the more you care about yourself.”
 - Albert Wright, UPS Foundation
