Donating to Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is a powerful way to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and young people in your community. 1. You Help Change a Child’s Life BBBS pairs children (Littles) with caring adult mentors (Bigs), providing guidance, encouragement, and stability. Studies show that mentored kids are more likely to succeed in school, avoid risky behaviors, and build confidence. 2. Breaking Cycles of Poverty & Hardship Many Littles come from single-parent homes, low-income families, or challenging environments. A strong mentor can be the difference between struggle and success, offering opportunities and perspectives they might not otherwise have. 3. Impact Stays Local Your donation helps kids near you gain access to life-changing relationships. 4. Proven Impact Research confirms that BBBS works: 90% of Littles perform better in school. 76% of Littles are more likely to enroll in college. 46% are less likely to start using drugs. 5. Empowering the Next Generation By fostering positive mentorship, BBBS helps young people develop leadership skills, resilience, and the ability to dream big. Your support isn’t just charity—it’s an investment in the future.
