Long before I arrived, StorageMart had a heart for children. Whether through donations to organizations like Foundation for Angelman\u2019s Syndrome Therapeutics (FAST)<\/a> or the things nobody ever hears about like the annual Christmas party the Burnam family throws for the children at Coyote Hill Christian Children\u2019s Home<\/a>, the actions of the company and its owners made it clear to me from day one that this is a company who cares about kids.<\/p>\n

In 2018, we began our partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada<\/a>, agreeing to donate money to the organization for every review left online for one of our locations in Canada.<\/p>\n

In 2019, our friends at BBBS Canada introduced us to BBBS America, and it was easy to see how their mission aligned with our heart for children. We launched a national partnership through our collegiate sponsorships<\/a>, donating to the organization every time one of our partner school made a tackle or free throw.<\/p>\n

In 2020, we\u2019re excited to be deepening our partnerships with Big Brothers Big Sisters both in America and Canada. Starting as early as February, employees will be teaming up to compete in a friendly competition with each other as we raise money for the annual Bowl for Kids\u2019 Sake<\/a> fundraiser.<\/p>\n

This summer, we\u2019ll be hosting BBBS 101 at locations across the US and Canada, creating a chance for the community to meet with representatives from Big Brothers Big Sisters to learn more about just how easy it is to make a difference in the life of a child.<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, I’ll be sharing stories from both sides of the border because in the end, it’s the stories of lives changed that truly matter.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll have even more ways for our customers and employees to get involved as the year progresses, so keep an eye on our social channels for updates!<\/p>\n
