Successful people never reach their goals alone. The theme of the evening will revolve around how mentorship is a phenomenon that no one is immune to and how its fundamental principles are applicable to not only the youth we serve, but is also one of the key driving forces behind any successful business model.

Partner Technologies launches “Brooksy Bucks for Big Brothers Big Sisters”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Regina and the Regina Pats are very pleased to announce the official launch of the Partner Technologies “Brooksy Bucks for Big Brothers Big Sisters” program. The launch will coincide with the return of the Pats 20-year old captain Adam Brooks from training camp with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Just when we thought we couldn’t cheer any louder for our beloved Regina Pats, Partner Technologies Inc. (PTI) just had to give us one more BIG reason to go crazy every time Adam Brooks scores a point. PTI continues to be such a big deal to Big Brothers of Regina, and we could not be more proud of them for powering mentoring programs in their community.

Brooksy Bucks will be accumulated throughout the season on a basis of $100 for each regular season point and $250 per playoff point (if applicable) achieved by Brooks. Fans can follow along with a running total throughout the season on the Brandt Centre videoboard, ReginaPats.com/BrooksyBucks and with the in-arena signage, found on the front panel of PTI’s club seating box, on the west side concourse.
