This partnership will consist of events, programs, field trips, training modules and meeting forums for the 2010-2011 school years. Cellular services has played a huge part and will continue to play a huge part in the process of reaching parents, mentors, volunteers, schools, and staff on a consistent basis.

This effort started as the interest of more community partners expressed their gratitude with the remarkable job well done the mentors and volunteers are contributing in the communities." said Stephon Smallwood, Chairman/Founder of BBMP.

However, we hope our efforts combined will benefit hundreds of kids with our philanthropic effects. We realize that the communities and school grounds are vital to the youth of today.
