Please help me raise much-needed funding for this great mentoring organization!

I've been a Big Brother for almost 8 years now and am curently mentoring an amazing 11-year-old boy named Chris. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to be a part of his life and to provide a little guidance and support as he grows up.

If you have the means, I'd really appreciate any donation you can afford to help extend this program to other at-risk kids in the Truckee-Tahoe area. Even $10 really does help match one more child with a mentor who can literally change that child's future.

Or, even better, if you live in the Truckee-Tahoe area, come out to our inaugural Bowl For Kids Sake fundraiser at Bowl Incline on Saturday, Oct. 23! For $25, you get an hour and a half of bowling, the chance to win amazing prizes, a live DJ, an excuse to dress up (it's a superhero theme) and the chance to help Big Brothers Big Sisters raise money for our mentoring programs. See the Facebook event for all the details:

Thank you so much to those who have already given. It really means a lot!
