OF THE YEAR corporate partner

We are thrilled to recognize Encore Boston Harbor as our 2022 Corporate Partner of the Year. Since 2019, Encore Boston Harbor has been a dedicated source of support for Greater Boston’s girls. They have not only provided a generous philanthropic investment in our mission, but their employees have committed their time and talents to working directly with girls. It is this personal connection that makes all the difference.

Encore Boston Harbor staff have joined events such as Big Sister Boston’s Summer Picnic, Appreciation Breakfast, and New Girls Network. At the start of the pandemic, Encore Boston Harbor’s employees hosted Big Sister Boston’s first-ever virtual event for Big and Little Sisters! The company has also hosted recruitment events in Everett, provided technical assistance with our online systems, and, as always, volunteered their time to work directly with Little Sisters.

Last year, Big Sister Boston welcomed Encore Boston Harbor President, Jenny Holaday, to join its Board of Directors. Jenny is deeply invested in supporting girls. In addition to joining the Board of Directors, Jenny recently became a Big Sister in our Site-Based Mentoring program at the Eliot K-8 Innovation School in Everett. “Partnering with the Big Sister Boston organization has been incredibly rewarding for me and our Encore Boston Harbor team of fierce female mentors,” says Jenny. There are currently eight women employees from Encore Boston Habor who are Big Sisters to girls at the Eliot. This program is vital for girls who are not able to meet with a Big Sister outside of the school day.
