What Our Partners Say

 

“Tech Data Corporation is proud to support the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters.  Not only are we committed to the mission financially, but we have numerous employees serving as Bigs in both the school and community-based programs.  Our volunteers continue to increase as they talk to current Bigs and hear about the dramatic way being a Big impacts the lives of their Littles, many of which are high-needs.  By mentoring these children through Big Brothers Big Sisters, we are confident we are helping these kids to grow into responsible, productive members of our community.”

-Joe Trepani, Tech Data

“The Rays are proud to support Big Brothers Big Sisters through financial contributions, in-kind donations, event sponsorship and volunteer recruitment.  We have seen the power of programs like Sports Buddies and know that unique experiences like taking in a baseball game together can provide a great bonding opportunity for Bigs and Littles.  Our employees also embrace this program by volunteering as mentors at a nearby school.” 

-Michael Kalt, The Tampa Bay Rays

"HSN is proud to support Big Brothers Big Sisters in numerous capacities.  In addition to providing the financial resources necessary to support their programs, HSN served as the pilot for the School-Based middle school program in Pinellas County.  It's the perfect way for companies to engage their employees and provide the young members of our community with positive adult role models.  Our employees have become committed volunteers -- and we're thrilled!"

-Lisa Letizio, HSN

"Big Brothers Big Sisters is a valued organization that for many years has enriched the lives of children with mentors and sponsors.  These mentors have filled the gap for so many children in the Pinellas County School System.  We support their efforts through the encouragement of our employees to become involved who, in turn, find the experience enhances their own lives as well."

-Julie M. Janssen, Ed.D. Superintendent Pinellas County Schools
