In conjunction with BBBSA, XSET use Raidel “Joke” Brito, the organization’s Madden professional, and Call of Duty veteran Jordan “ProoFy” Cannon as brand ambassadors in Detroit, MI and New York City respectively. The two esports professionals will meet with Bigs and Littles in their community regularly.
The organizations are also joining together in a recruitment campaign for more mentor and mentee volunteers. They will also launch a fundraiser together to support mentors work in Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives.
“Mentoring opens doors of possibilities for young people, and by connecting with partners like XSET, it allows our Littles to learn first-hand about this growing industry,” said Adam Vasallo, Chief Marketing Officer of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. “We also appreciate the financial support, which will allow our agencies across the country the opportunity to reach more Littles who are waiting to be matched with a Big.”
