In addition to fundraising activities, CBC encourages offices and professionals to increase their involvement on the local level by participating as mentors, offering their professional services pro-bono or assisting by other means. CBC works hand-in-hand with BBBS to promote the organization, to raise awareness and funding and ultimately to generate positive mentoring relationships that have lasting impact on the lives of children across the country.
