Proceeds from the event will benefit the local Big Brothers Big Sisters
agency which matches at-risk children with volunteer adult role
models. These volunteers who are screened thoroughly by agency
staff meet with children at least two times per month offering
guidance, support, and positive role-modeling. The concept of
services by Big Brothers Big Sisters is to get community members to
open up their lives to a young child within their own community.
It does not take a great deal of time, money, or talent; the volunteers
just need to care about children.
Community members who feel they don’t want to make a commitment of
volunteering can help the agency in other ways. The agency is
always looking for cost saving ideas for activities that our volunteers
can do with their matched Littles. In the past years, companies
and individuals have donated tickets to local events, sporting events,
or hosted a special outing for the Big Brothers Big Sisters group.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a non-profit United Way member
agency. For more information on how you can become a volunteer
and make a difference in a child’s life contact the local agency at
937-492-7611, 937-547-9622, or log onto our website at
