First Roll for Kids Sake
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County held its 1st
annual Roll for Kids Sake event on Thursday, February 12th at Rolling
Hills Skate in Sidney. Approximately 135 people, comprised of community
volunteer mentors, Littles, BBBS staff, and the general public, were in
attendance this year. During the festivities and the excitement
of skating, apples (donated by Freshway Foods) and snacks (donated by
Mike Meyer, Meyers Garage) were available, as well as prizes being
awarded.
Currently there are 80 community volunteer mentors and 100 high school
sophomores, juniors, and seniors who volunteer with the school-based
Big Buddies Program throughout Shelby & Darke County. 13 children
in Shelby County are waiting to be matched with a volunteer
mentor. The Big Brothers Big Sisters Board of Directors are
currently holding a recruitment challenge to recruit volunteers to work
with these children who are ready to be matched.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a non-profit
United Way member, social service agency. If you would like more
information on entering your child in the program or on becoming an
active volunteer, please call 492-7611 or 547-9622.
