BOSTON - The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay’s CEO says his mentoring organization will continue to work on collaborative efforts with the Big Sister Association of Greater Boston despite a legal battle between the two nonprofit groups.

John Pearson, CEO of the Boston-based Big Brothers group, said he has instructed his staff to continue to assist Big Sister even though Big Sister filed a service-mark infringement suit against his organization on Friday."
