I don’t want (my Little Brother) to be let down the way I have in my life. My father disappeared, my best friend got shot in a drive-by when I was 9. No way I’m letting him down.”
– Big Brother Joseph
A $28,000 donation from the Jack in the Box Foundation allowed us to open a new mentoring program at a Richmond YMCA, and matched Joseph with his Little Brother.

Be recognized as a good corporate citizen
As a corporate partner, you are associated with one of America’s best known, best loved non-profits; your relationship with us will, over time, establish your brand as one that stands for responsible corporate citizenship and good works. Here are just some of the ways you can partner with us:
Recruit employees to volunteer as “Bigs”
- Corporate partners can hold an Employee Recruitment Event or email campaign to encourage their staff to volunteer as mentors to at-risk kids.
Designate BBBSBA as the beneficiary of a cause-related marketing program
- A company’s proven commitment to a worthy cause builds brand loyalty and positive press. Reports show that 86% of Americans would likely switch to a company or product that is associated with a good cause if price and quality are similar.
Sponsor a BBBSBA event
- Wine & Food tastings, poker tournaments, dinner auctions and networking opportunities are simple, high profile, and effective ways of giving support.
- Host a “Bowl for Kids’ Sake” (or other event) to benefit BBBSBA.
- BBBSBA staff will coordinate a bowling event for your employees, vendors, customers and/or your community. Participants raise money (via sponsor pledges) to donate to BBBSBA.
Make an annual corporate gift (or corporate foundation gift)
- A gift from your company will allow us to get kids off our waiting list and into positive relationships with adult role models. Funding opportunities for specific needs or areas of interest are available.
Donate your products or services
- BBBSBA can always use donations for our fundraising events, activities for enrolled children, or goods and services.
Our Development Staff will work with you to develop a cause-related marketing campaign, sponsorship event, or recognition program that supports your business model.
To discuss these and other corporate partnership opportunities, contact Chief Development Officer Joanne Gold.
