MAKING A GIFT
Thanks to our volunteers and the generous support of thousands of individuals
and companies community wide, we make a measurable difference in the lives of almost
400 children each year.
Become A Big Champion
for Children
Match Maker ($1,000)
Your donation will support a match between a Big and a Little for a year!
Services provided to Bigs and Littles include enrollment, matching, and ongoing
training and match support by BBBS’s professional staff. Match support plays a
crucial role in the development of the mentor/mentee relationship and is
designed to sustain mentoring relationships that are healthy and beneficial to
the child and that provide the volunteer with a rich and rewarding experience.
Magic Maker ($500)
Your donation will provide magic for a Little who is waiting for a mentor!
With your help, BBBS’s professional staff will actively recruit and screen
volunteers through interviews and background checks. Volunteer interests and
skills are aligned with the needs and interest of the child. Both parent and
volunteer approve of proposed matches.
Dream Maker ($250)
Your donation will help us to provide free activities for Bigs and Littles to
enjoy together! By bringing our Bigs and Littles together throughout the
year, these activities give the children opportunities to try new experiences
and make new friends, while Big Brothers and Big Sisters are able to share ideas
for their weekly outings with their Littles.
