Kenny Ross Automotive continues to be an ardent supporter. In 1965, Founder and former company President, Kenny Ross, joined with ongoing
supporter, Dr. Marvin Bellin, and other business leaders to lay the groundwork for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh. Since then, Kenny
Ross Automotive has provided considerable financial support to our agency as well as advocacy and community exposure. Beyond the company’s
important role, three generations of Ross family members have demonstrated their commitment to our mission through Board membership,
volunteerism, and/or fundraising. Kenny’s son Jimmy was Board President and continues to serve on the board, his grandchildren volunteer and one
grandchild actually works for the organization in New York City.
OUR VISION:
All children achieve success in life.
OUR MISSION:
Provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
ACCOUNTABILITY STATEMENT:
We partner with parents/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving:
»»Higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships
»»Avoidance of risky behaviors
»»Educational success
For 48 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh (BBBS) has made a lasting impact on the youth we serve and the volunteers who help us throughout
Allegheny, Washington, and Greene counties. Since our founding, we have empowered thousands of young people and adults to realize lifelong positive
changes—changes that exponentially impact families, teachers, colleagues, communities, and future generations.
When a “Little” has the opportunity to follow a new path toward academic, social, and community involvement, it enhances our region as a whole. When our adult
volunteers connect with young people from divergent geographic, economic, and ethnic backgrounds, they develop a greater sense of awareness. By bridging the
demographic gap and breaking down barriers, our matches help bring our region’s population closer together.
One of our goals at BBBS is to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our youth and volunteer pool. We have expanded our programs by bringing mentors into the
workplace and the schools. We have reached out to a wide array of community organizations to recruit volunteers and continued to expand our network through
social media, young professional boards, and other affinity groups.
We believe that every individual has the potential to make an impact on our organization, and ultimately, on the city and beyond. Donors, foundations, and
corporations are crucial to supporting our programs and enabling us to realize our goals. Our volunteers, partners, Board of Directors, alumni network, families,
and other dedicated supporters spread the word about the value of mentoring and the quality and success of our programs.
The cumulative, combined effort of all these individuals and groups allows us to make a difference in the lives of young people throughout our three-county
service area—helping them make better choices and become achieving, contributing members of society. The following annual report captures just a few
examples of the powerful impact of BBBS in our community.
We invite you to read and be inspired.

As participants in Workplace Mentoring, 14 employees from American Eagle Outfitters served as Bigs to students at
Pittsburgh Arlington Elementary. Aside from spending time together at school, the Bigs welcomed their Littles to the
company’s South Side headquarters for a photo shoot and scavenger hunt. Additionally, American Eagle hosted 20 Littles for
a “Shopping with the Steelers” experience in early-December at its South Side Works store. Each Little received $200 in store
credits for a holiday wardrobe makeover.

PetSmart was the official sponsor of our Annual Summer Picnic in July 2012. More than 150 Bigs and Littles had their
pictures taken with Bentley, the dog with the world’s longest tail. Matches also made fabric pet toys and enjoyed food,
crafts, swimming, and other activities at Camp Guyasuta. In December, PetSmart sold stuffed animals to benefit its company
charities. Hundreds of donated stuffed animals were given to our Littles as holiday gifts.

For the second consecutive year, Accenture was the Presenting Sponsor of our Start Something Golf Classic. The company
also sponsored Bowl for Kids’ Sake. As an advocate for our mission, Accenture featured our agency during its 2013
International Women’s Day Celebration in Pittsburgh. This event was an opportunity to highlight the challenges facing
girls in our region and inspire women to respond through mentorship.
BOWL FOR KIDS’ SAKE
Our 32nd Annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake campaign was a huge success! More than 800 individuals representing more than 25 companies formed 115 teams to raise
$190,000. Their efforts were supported by 2,300 donors and dozens of corporate sponsors. The following list acknowledges this year’s bowling captains and their
teams, presented in descending order by total amount raised (as a team).

We were proud to honor Peoples Natural Gas CEO, Morgan O’Brien, at our 33rd Annual Corporate Roast on October 11, 2012 at Phipps Conservatory.
The event generated $175,915 through the generosity of Peoples Natural Gas, Morgan and Kathy O’Brien, and supporters. Peoples Natural Gas also
sponsored the most recent Bowl for Kids’ Sake and Start Something Golf Classic. Additionally, eight Peoples employees served as Bigs to students
in the Site-based Program at Springhill Elementary School. On May 8, the company donated its corporate suite at PNC Park to allow program
participants to attend a Pirates game together.

In its second decade of giving, Tickets for Kids Charities donated 235 event tickets valued at over $6,400. This
generous contribution allowed matches to access the following local venues and events: Kennywood Amusement
Park, American Idol Live Tour 2012, Mary Poppins – The Musical, Cirque Du Soleil, Black Nativity, Harlem
Globetrotters, Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium, Pittsburgh Pirates, and PITT Football.
For the second consecutive year, Duquesne Light made a significant contribution through the Pennsylvania
Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. In previous years, the company sponsored Bowl for Kids’ Sake.
At our Annual Holiday Party in December, Duquesne Light’s mascot, Wattley, entertained more than 230 Bigs and
Littles as they enjoyed food, crafts, and ice skating at Schenley Park Skating Rink.
ROBERTA LONDON, “BIG SISTER OF THE YEAR” IN PENNSYLVANIA
Roberta London, Big Sister to Ishemer since 2002, was named
Pennsylvania’s “Big Sister of the Year.” At the time the match
was made, Ishemer, raised by a single father, had many school
absences. Ishemer is now 17 years old and planning to attend
college. Said Ishemer’s father, Lee, Roberta has gone “way beyond
being a Big Sister” to Ishemer. Over the course of ten years, she has
attended Ishemer’s parent-teacher conferences when his father
could not, visited him in the hospital in the middle of the night,
and purchased clothes for her Little Brother after he and his family
suffered a house fire. When Ishemer and his father moved to Butler
County, Roberta stuck with him; she routinely drove two hours
round trip to meet her Little Brother. Even though he has a family
of aunts, uncles, and cousins, Ishemer believes that “Roberta has
been the best family besides my dad.”
