Helzberg Jewelers Partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
Helzberg, a prominent name in the jewelry industry, has recently made headlines with the announcement of its national partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA). Launched just ahead of Big Brothers Big Sisters Month celebrated every September, this collaboration aims at fostering mentorship opportunities for the youth across the nation. Through this initiative, Helzberg plans to combine its resources, volunteer support, and financial investments to create impactful mentorship experiences for young individuals.
According to Brad Hampton, CEO of Helzberg, the partnership provides an exceptional opportunity for the brand to align with its values of connection and care that extend beyond the jewelry counter. For over a century, BBBSA has championed one-to-one mentorships that cultivate resilience and growth in young people, enabling them to build confidence and pursue their goals. This alignment between Helzberg's mission and BBBSA’s goals is a testament to their shared commitment to empowering the next generation.
The kickoff event for this collaboration took place in Kansas City, Helzberg's hometown, during the Diamond Anniversary celebration of Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City, held at Kauffman Stadium. However, the collaborative efforts will not be confined to Kansas City; Helzberg has organized a series of events that will engage its associates nationwide. The upcoming activities include career day mentoring sessions, Pack + Give Back events, and other community-tailored initiatives designed to foster mentorship and skill development.
On August 30, Helzberg is set to host a group from the BBBSA at a Kansas City Current match, providing attendees with unique recognition opportunities and exclusive merchandise from both Helzberg and the Current. These events are designed not just to celebrate the partnership but also to actively engage Helzberg's associates in meaningful community service, thereby strengthening the ties between the company and the communities they serve.
In addition to the mentorship initiatives, Helzberg emphasizes the importance of creating memorable moments for communities through its jewelry. With over 160 retail locations across the United States, Helzberg is not just identified by its exquisite jewelry but also its deep-rooted commitment to social responsibility. The company's rich history, dating back to 1915, is marked by demonstrations of community involvement and support that resonate strongly with its employees and customers.
Helzberg's commitment to youth empowerment reflects a broader trend among businesses that recognize the significance of corporate social responsibility. This partnership with BBBSA is strategically aligned with Helzberg’s goals to reinforce its corporate identity as a supporter of local communities, ultimately making a positive impact in the lives of many. As this collaboration progresses, the hope is that it will inspire others in the industry to create meaningful partnerships that uplift and support the next generation.
As Helzberg continues its journey in this partnership, the focus remains on fostering connections, inspiring young minds, and contributing positively to society. Companies like Helzberg are setting a precedent, demonstrating that the impact of a good business goes far beyond profit margins—it includes uplifting those around them, creating a legacy of mentorship and support for future generations.
