THANK YOU! Your contributions are ESSENTIAL!
In 2013, Boys & Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters will serve nearly 5,000 children and youth. 
5,000 kids will be reminded of their potential and that they CAN succeed and build amazing futures.  5,000 kids will know what it means to be cared about and supported.  5,000 kids will receive hot meals, homework help, learn to swim, play soccer with their friends, sing out of tune with confidence, deal positively with being bullied or stop from becoming one, learn English, meet a pro football player or a million other things that will help them become the best they can be. 

 

This work cannot be accomplished without the financial support of people like you.  BGCBIGS runs four signature fundraisers and participates in many more through National and local partnerships.

Every Penny Counts!
A former Big Sister sent us this email; “Hi,I just wanted to pass along a cute story. My daughter and two of her friends had a lemonade stand on Saturday (they’re 6). When they started making money there was a discussion (between the kids – no adults suggested this) about sharing the profits with a charity. They talked about it and made a decision to send one fourth of the earnings to Big Sisters and Big Brothers. Since that would mean a donation of $3.62 J I added a few dollars when I made the donation on-line. It’s not much but we wanted you to know that the kids are thinking of you and wanting to help out. Have a great day. Jennifer”

From everyone here at Big Brothers Big Sisters, we thank you Jennifer, your daughter and friends for helping support the kids in our community through the wonderful idea of a lemonade stand. Being a charity, every donation that we gets counts and helps us serve more and more kids – no matter how big or small we truly appreciate your support. Also, what a great way to motivate others in showing how easy it is to become involved with Big Brothers Big Sister by holding your own fundraisers.
