Jeweler kicks off collaboration ahead of September's Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, expanding

opportunities for youth mentorship nationwide

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Helzberg is proud to announce a national partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA), launching ahead of Big Brothers Big Sisters Month in September. Through this collaboration, Helzberg will combine financial investment, volunteer engagement and career exploration opportunities to create meaningful moments of mentorship for youth across the country. With a nationwide network of passionate associates, Helzberg can expand its impact and offer more ways for team members to engage in causes that reflect its core values.

"Partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America gives Helzberg a meaningful way to live out our long-held belief that care and connection must go beyond the jewelry counter," said Brad Hampton, CEO of Helzberg. "We're honored to support the next generation in reaching for their dreams, and I'm thrilled for our associates to share their hearts and talents with their communities across the country."

For more than a century, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America has created and supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that inspire growth and resilience in youth. With the support of caring adult mentors, BBBSA helps young people build confidence, set meaningful goals and achieve their full potential.

"We are thrilled to welcome Helzberg as a new national partner," said Adam Vasallo, Chief Marketing Officer and Acting Chief Development Officer at Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. "Helzberg's partnership reflects its deep commitment to empowering youth and strengthening communities through mentorship and complements our mission perfectly."

The partnership launched earlier this month in Kansas City—Helzberg's hometown—at the Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City's Diamond Anniversary celebration at Kauffman Stadium. The momentum continues on August 30, when Helzberg will host a group of Bigs & Littles at the KC Current match, where they'll enjoy special pre-match recognition and exclusive swag from both Helzberg and the Current. The collaboration with BBBSA will extend well beyond Kansas City, engaging Helzberg associates across key markets through a variety of volunteer efforts, including career day mentoring, Pack + Give Back events and other activities tailored to community needs.

This partnership reflects Helzberg's belief in the power of connection and its ongoing mission to help people celebrate moments that matter—both in their own lives and in the communities they serve.
