Bigs & Littles Play Together on International Day of Friendship with BOGO Jump Passes
LOS ANGELES, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of International Day of Friendship and to further the brand's commitment to "Do Good," Sky Zone (www.skyzone.com) begins today a nationwide, year-long partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of America. The partnership reflects Sky Zone's belief in the power of play and offers buy-one-get-one-free 90-minute jump passes to BBBS matches, which will enable Bigs to get free jump time for their Littles.
The 115-year-old BBBS organization provides meaningful mentoring relationships between youth and adult volunteers to help unlock the incredible potential BBBS believes is inherent to all children. To help further this mission, Sky Zone is providing cost-effective access to its wall-to-wall aerial action environment for Bigs and Littles to enjoy active play together.
"Through this partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, we are proud to stand by one of Sky Zone's core pillars of 'Do Good' within the communities that we serve," said Jeff Platt, CEO of Sky Zone. "All of us at Sky Zone are committed to helping children reach their full potential through the benefits of active play, and we are excited to be able to provide Bigs and Littles a safe, fun place to spend time together and make an impact on each other's lives."
"Big Brothers Big Sisters is jumping for joy over our partnership with Sky Zone. There are lots of great memories to be made," said Pam Iorio, CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
To recognize the dedication and relationships between matches, each year BBBS acknowledges both a Big Brother and Big Sister of the year. The winners are chosen through a nomination process from more than 150,000 matches and must be in a current, active match with the same Little for more than two years and have demonstrated significant impact for the Little, as well as improvements in the Little's social and emotional state.
This year's winners are Hugo Mantilla of Florida and Jeanne Edwards of New Jersey who each have provided outstanding mentorship and they, along with their Littles, will be receiving gift cards to Sky Zone to keep the fun jumping!
"At Sky Zone, we are dedicated to expanding on the ways we can help within our communities," said Josh Cole, CMO of Sky Zone. "The new buy-one-get-one program, and the annual Big Brother and Big Sister of the year recognition, are the initial of many opportunities to support the organization with programs that focus on providing an uplifting, positive environment where children can thrive."
