A Big Thank You!
We would like to thank our partners for their time and energy devoted to making a Big difference in a child’s life. They include:

Bentley Systems, Incorporated and the Bentley Family are proud to sponsor the Bentley Penn Bigs Program in partnership with the Robert A. Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania. In the 2008/2009 school-year, Bentley Systems also joined BBBS SEPA as a Beyond School WallsSM partner.

CIGNA's deepest commitment is the community they serve.  As a leading Beyond School WallsSM partner, CIGNA continues to provide Littles with new opportunities and experiences in their Center City headquarters.  Additionally, CIGNA provides financial support to BBBS SEPA.

Comcast
With its nationwide headquarters in Philadelphia, the Comcast Corporation — the largest cable company in the United States — hasn't forgotten its roots! Since 2004, Comcast has been an invaluable partner by providing financial support, hosting the 2005 Big Brothers Big Sisters — Comcast Golf Classic at Merion Golf Club, supporting employees to be School-Based Bigs, and executive leaderships through Board representation.  In 2008, Comcast kicked off a Beyond School WallsSM Program at its Philadelphia headquarters; through the Comcast partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Comcast will replicate BBBS SEPA's Beyond School Walls program at other Comcast locations nationwide.

Pep Boys
One of Pep Boys' core values is its focus on valuing relationships with associates, customers and families — this focus makes its association with Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern PA a natural fit. Pep Boys supports Big Brothers Big Sisters by organizing an Annual Golf Tournament with its vendors and partners which raises funds for BBBS SEPA.

QVC
QVC brings its "quality, value, and convenience" to children through participation in BBBS SEPA's Beyond School WallsSM program.

Wawa
A leader in the Beyond School WallsSM Program, Wawa conducts business according to a "good neighbor" philosophy.  Among the founding principles of Wawa, one clearly stands out:  their ongoing commitment to the communities where they do business.  In addition to hosting students who meet with their Bigs at Wawa's Delaware County headquarters, Wawa provides financial support to BBBS SEPA.
