• Provide BBBS with a company point of contact.
• Utilize your company's charitable giving programs by supporting BBBS, the most well-known and well-respected name in youth mentoring.

• Do you have talented, leadership quality employees who might make a great addition to our Board of Directors or County Action Team?
• Host a mini-fundraiser for BBBS - penny drive, bake sale, employee recognition day, sell $1 snowman pin-ups during the holidays or pay money to wear jeans on Friday the ideas are endless!
• Sponsor an ad in our quarterly newsletter or on our new website - both are great ways to connect with our agency while helping defray our costs to provide relevant information to our program participants and area businesses.
• Allow an annual Bowl for Kids' Sake presentation to your employees. Get involved as a group - maybe even a 'company bowl' is right for you!
