Back to RACcommunity Home 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. This year, we are giving more than $300,000 with money going back to the Clubs nearest to our stores. Thanks for an eggs-traordinary effort!
