At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we celebrate the power of sharing our light by showing up for others.

Kids show up with a desire for connection, opportunity, and growth.

Parents show up over and over by believing in their kids and connecting them to this opportunity to develop their potential. 

Volunteers show up by giving a little bit of time and encouragement.

Our team, Board, and partners show up to bring these life-changing relationships and opportunities to more and more kids in our community. 

And many days, but especially on Giving Tuesday, generous donors show up to contribute gifts of any size (truly, any size) to make this all possible. 

Right now, we have 1,000 youth eagerly waiting for mentors. These young people are full of potential, and they’re asking our community to show up for them, to believe in them, support them, and help guide them toward a brighter future. 

This January marks my 20th year with this organization, and I am beyond grateful for the ways it has touched my life. In honor of that milestone, I'm hoping to reach 20 gifts today. We have more work to do, and every gift we secure today helps.

Thank you!
