“Together, we are changing how children grow up in our community."
 
 
For each $1000 raised, a child will be taken off the waiting list and placed into a matched relationship that will positively impact their lives. Thank you for your support and sharing our vision to make a positive impact on the lives of children in our community.
 
Our Impact
 
A recent study found that adults who were matched for at least one year as children reported that having a Big Brother or Big Sister played an integral role in who they are today by positively influencing their self-confidence, providing stability, changing their perspective on life and pushing them to set higher goals such as obtaining a four year college degree.  Relationships between alumni in the study and their Bigs endured the test of time with 64% still in touch, paying dividends well into the future.
