Having all eggs in one basket for Big Brothers Big Sisters is a good thing!
Each Spring, the Rent-A-Center family raises funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. With a donation of $1 or more, customers, co-workers and the community sign their name on a paper Spring egg to hang in our stores.
Since 2003, Rent-A-Center has given $100,000 every year to match the total amount raised by our 3,000 stores during a four week campaign. To date, we've donated more than $1.5 million to BBBS. Thanks for an eggs-traordinary effort!
Big Brothers Big Sisters changes the way vulnerable children see the world and interact with it. They help children make good choices, like staying in school and out of trouble, breaking negative cycles in our society.
