Partnership Opportunities

Event Sponsorships

Companies and products find it increasingly difficult to differentiate themselves from competitors and to align their brand values with the values of their consumers. Supporting a cause that matters to your customers is a great way to achieve those business objectives.

In recent surveys:

  • 92% of consumers consider it important for corporations to contribute to non-profits
  • 76% of consumers have taken part in at least one cause-related marketing campaign
  • 90% of millennials said they would switch to a brand affiliated with a good cause, if price and quality were equal.

Employee Engagement

A 2017 report by Aon Hewitt suggests that employee engagement is falling. Our own research shows that employees who are given the opportunity to give back to their community through their employer are more productive, feel more positive about the company that they work for, and are more engaged.

We have numerous employee engagement opportunities such as team participation in a fundraising event such as Bowl for Kids Sake or giving employees a couple of hours a week to volunteer as a mentor in our In-School mentoring program. We are always open to discussing creative opportunities to meet your unique employee engagement challenges.

IN-SCHOOL MENTORING BOWL TEAM

Host your Own Event

These events are organized by your company to help raise funds necessary for Big Brothers Big Sisters to operate and ensure that every child gains the confidence to achieve more through a mentoring relationship.

An event can be any activity by a non-affiliated group or individual. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada has no fiduciary responsibility and little or no staff involvement, however, we will support you and your event as much as possible to help it be a success. Examples include: A “something”-a-thon, raffles, auctions, galas, parties, sporting events or tournaments – “something-for-kids-sake”.
