These organic partnerships stemmed from passionate IMA associates in Dallas, Denver, Kansas City and Wichita. IMA sponsored a clay shoot in Dallas, made Big Brothers Big Sisters the beneficiaries of IMA Foundation events in Wichita and Kansas City, and received grant funding in Denver. Recognizing these valuable partnerships and the interests of associates, IMA pursued a broader partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters. IMA leadership from each of these four communities agreed that these partnerships are strong enough that we want to formalize them across these markets. As a result, the IMA Foundation Board of Directors and IMA presidents from these four areas committed to be a Regional Partner of Big Brothers Big Sisters. This partnership includes financial and volunteer support in Colorado, Kansas and Texas. Thank you to Big Brothers Big Sisters for leading the charge on this incredible partnership.
