Wests Tigers are pleased to announce that Big Bear Academy has partnered with the club to become our official Mascot Partner in 2025.
Big Bear Academy operates childcare centres in Macquarie Fields, St Andrews, and North Rocks and specialises in nurturing children's physical, mental, emotional, and cognitive development.
Over the last six years, Big Bear Academy has provided personalised care and play-based learning in helping to support each child’s growth and school readiness.
In addition to their existing locations, a new Big Bear Academy centre in Minto will open in mid-2025.
The new-look 2025 Wests Tigers Mascots have Big Bear Academy proudly emblazoned on their shirts.
Timmy the Tiger and his new partner, Tina, have kept the energy high at our home games this season, so make sure you say hello or ask them for a photo at the next match!
Big Bear Academy Director Andrew Pacione is excited to partner with the club in 2025.
"Our commitment to fostering talent and supporting young achievers in the local area extends beyond our centres," said Pacione.
"Now, we are able to do this on a bigger scale with Big Bear Academy becoming the Official Mascot Partner of Wests Tigers, furthering our commitment to supporting tomorrow’s champions in our local community!
"Working with young children, we know the importance of staying active, healthy, building confidence and teamwork. Wests Tigers delivers on this and more, doing an awesome job providing opportunities for children to learn and grow through the sport of rugby league.
"In 2025, we are so excited to see our locals cheer on our Wests Tigers sporting heroes, getting motivated to get out there and have a go!"
