As many of you know, I have been a supporter of BBBSCI and a Big now for the second time.  My Little, Caleb, is a Sophomore at Fishers and just finished up a great comeback JV football season after breaking his leg early last year!  He's a great kid with a huge heart, and a great example of positive attitude and persistence!
My goal as a Big is to help encourage that greatness!  And to show up for the young people in our community day in and day out. You can do the same - and make the future brighter by building the same connection. The youth of Central Indiana are asking for mentors, and we need your help.

But being a Big is more than just mentoring. It’s about being a cheerleader, a listener, a teacher, and most importantly, a friend. It’s about standing beside our Littles and cheering them on through every milestone, challenge, and success.

Right now, we have 1,000 youth eagerly waiting for mentors like our Bigs. That’s 1,000 lives ready to be changed, 1,000 opportunities to build connections that last a lifetime. These young people are full of potential, and they’re looking for someone who will believe in them, support them, and help guide them toward a brighter future. And what we need is even more Bigs to meet this urgent need!

Thank you all for all of your previous support!

Together, we’re changing the game for young people—and we couldn’t do it without you. 

900+ mentoring relationships in the BBBSCI program annually

300 young people connected & referred to other youth-supporting programming

150 youth supported through group mentoring

15 LITTLE MEMORIES – This year, your support does all this and creates some BIG magic! Every challenge achieved on Giving Tuesday unlocks a little memory for 15 lucky matches! These memories are bucket list opportunities for Bigs and Littles, made possible by generous supporters like YOU.
