30 BIGS IN 30 DAYS DURING BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS MONTH
Help Us Celebrate 55 Years of Mentorship!
September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, and this year, we’re
celebrating 55 years of making a difference in the lives of at-risk youth
in our community! As part of this milestone, we’re launching a special challenge: 30 Bigs in 30 Days. We need your help to recruit 30 new mentors, known as Bigs, who will provide life-changing, one-to-one support to youth in need.
For over five decades, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the 7 Rivers Region has been a pillar of support, matching children with caring adults who help guide them through life’s challenges. However, the need for more mentors is urgent. Every day, kids in our community are waiting for someone who can offer them encouragement, stability, and friendship.
Why One-to-One Mentoring Matters
Research shows that youth with mentors are likelier to stay in school, avoid risky behaviors, and develop positive social skills. BBBS's programs like Big Buddies, Sports Buddies, and Community-Based Mentoring are designed to provide these crucial relationships. But we can’t do it alone—we need new Bigs to step up and change lives.
How You Can Help
We’re asking you to help us find 30 new mentors this September. Whether you’re a potential Big, know someone who would be a great fit, or want to support our efforts financially, your involvement can make all the difference. Every donation helps us expand our capacity, retain our dedicated staff, and reach more youth in need.
