Those of you who are blessed enough to be close enough to us know we beg for money with no shame and we thank you. You also know we have been doing this for quite a few years now, and because of your support, we've been some of the leading fundraisers each of those years. It is important for the following reasons:
Supporting Youth Development: Donations to Big Brothers Big Sisters WI Shoreline directly support programs that help children and teenagers reach their full potential. By giving, you're investing in the future success and well-being of young people in your community.
Building Stronger Communities: Mentoring programs like BBBS foster positive relationships between kids and their Bigs. They learn more about their communities too which can only help us all in the long run.
Breaking Cycles of Adversity: Many kids in BBBS programs face troubles like poverty, family instability, or academic challenges. By donating, you help the agency provide more programs and mentors to give them the tools to overcome.
Our ladies are impressed by our success: So many different, personal levels of importance here. Selfish, you may say, but nevertheless important.
Overall, your support has had a significant impact on our community. As always, thank you for your support, kindness, and being part of our lives in a whatever way makes you someone we can ask for money.
