Locally, the two-county agency of Big Brothers Big Sisters now serves
over 300 children in Shelby and Darke County through its
community-based and High School Big Buddies mentoring programs.
At this time the agency has 45 children on a waiting list in need of a
volunteer mentor. It is hoped that this fundraising event will
not only bring dollars to the local agency, but awareness of the need
for volunteers.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County, a United Way
member social service agency, is a nonprofit organization whose mission
is to help children reach their full potential, by matching children
with volunteers to develop and nurture quality relationships. The
relationship is meant to guide each child toward becoming a confident,
competent, and caring individual. Anyone interested in becoming a
volunteer may call the office at 937-492-7611, 937-547-9622 or log on
