Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is the gold standard in youth mentoring. Big Brothers Big Sisters mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported one-to-one relationships with measurable impact. Our vision consists of successful mentoring relationships for all children who need and want them contributing to better schools, brighter futures, and stronger communities for all. Fortune Magazine found that 88% of all Americans recognize our name and we were selected in 2006 as one of "America's Greatest Brands" by the American Brands Council. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a local market specialist serving 5,000 communities across America with a quarter of a million active matches. Over our 104 year history, we have a vast alumni network of caring community and business leaders who have experienced first hand the power of what we do. We also are currently working with major corporations who work closely with us in partnership and see the value of successful mentoring. American Eagle Outfitters is one of those corporations who understand and are the forefront of our partnerships.
In 2006, American Eagle launched a partnership with BBBS through our signature fund raising event Bowl For Kids' Sake and corporate volunteerism. Through Bowl for Kids' Sake American Eagle has raised thousands of dollars that will enable BBBS to achieve sustainable growth in serving more children.
Through corporate volunteerism American Eagle has provided exceptional match support with some of their top employees. These volunteers are actively engaged with their Littles and many have had a very positive experience, both with the BBBS program and with their Littles themselves.
