Whittier Trust is proud to have served as the matching sponsor for PBS Reno’s 2025/2026 Better Together Challenge, which inspired more than 1,000 community donations—exceeding the original goal fivefold.
The challenge was simple but powerful: if PBS Reno reached 200 donations from new or renewing members, Whittier Trust would contribute $10,000 to PBS Reno and $10,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada. The result: 1,008 donations and $20,000 directed toward transformational educational and mentorship programs.
“Whittier Trust is proud to celebrate the success of the Better Together Challenge with PBS Reno and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada,” said Dean Byrne, CFA, Executive Vice President and Nevada Regional Manager at Whittier Trust. “Exceeding the goal allows both organizations to expand their impact for local children and families. This achievement reflects the strength of our community and its commitment to investing in their futures.”
