SAN DIEGO – March 1, 2016 – CBRE Group, Inc. is pleased to announce that John Frager, executive managing director of CBRE’s operations in San Diego has been selected as the ”Person of the Year” by Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County (BBBS of SDC); the leader in providing one-to-one mentoring for children facing adversities. Mr. Frager will receive his award at Big Brothers Big Sisters 54th Annual Gourmet Dinner on October 20, 2016, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine.

Mr. Frager has been a longtime supporter of BBBS of SDC. He has been a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County Board of Directors since 2003 and served as the organization’s Board Chair just as the 2008 financial crisis hit San Diego. He fearlessly helped the agency forge ahead despite many challenges to assure it maintained the same level of service to San Diego children. John’s commitment was clearly displayed when he agreed to an unprecedented 3rd term to continue building organizational strength. He is regarded as a valuable mentor by his community constituents, including the BBBS of SDC staff, for his ongoing teaching of best business practices, process improvement and stakeholder engagement.

"I am honored and humbled to be recognized as the Person of the Year by Big Brothers Big Sisters," said Frager. "It is a significant organization that positively impacts the youth in our community who are facing adversity and need our guidance. The meaningful mentorship program changes children's lives for the better and I am happy to have been a part of this program for 12 years."

As the executive managing director for CBRE’s San Diego business, John Frager oversees more than 250 real estate professionals in four office locations. Mr. Frager also leads CBRE's Technology & Media Practice, an advisory group made up of 45 industry experts covering the top technology markets across the globe. Mr. Frager also supports numerous charitable and community endeavors. He is currently on the campaign cabinet for Scripps Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, a Heart Walk cabinet member for the American Heart Association, a member of the CEO Organization and the educational chair and board member of the World Presidents’ Organization. He is a recipient of the “Exemplary Service Award” by the San Diego Business Journal at the Most Admired CEO award ceremony in 2008. After earning his degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern California in 1980, Mr. Frager spent six years serving his country as a member of the United States Navy.

Deborah Condon, BBBS of SDC’s President and CEO said, “John’s recognition as ‘Person of the Year’ is well earned. His mentorship of staff and volunteers has helped shape the agency into a more efficient, effective organization that has greatly reduced the time a child must wait for a mentor and expanded its reach to more children in need.”

About Big Brothers Big Sisters

For 55 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County has operated under the belief that every child has the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters helps children achieve measurable positive outcomes, including educational success; avoidance of risky behaviors; higher aspirations; greater confidence; and healthier relationships. By partnering with parents and guardians, schools, corporations and other community members, Big Brothers Big Sisters carefully pairs children (“Littles”) with screened volunteer mentors (“Bigs”) to monitor and support one-to-one mentoring matches that build safe, enduring relationships.

Big Brothers Big Sisters provides support for children facing adversity, often from single or low-income households or families where a parent is incarcerated or serving in the military. Locally, Big Brothers Big Sisters serves children ages 7-18 through six distinct programs: Amachi (a program for children with an incarcerated parent), High School Bigs (after school 1:1 mentoring), Community Mentoring (the traditional 1:1 mentoring program), Operation Bigs (a program serving children whose parent(s) are active duty, retired, wounded or Gold star military), Beyond School Walls (workplace mentoring) and Sports Bigs (a sports and active lifestyle mentoring program).
