Big Brothers Big Sisters
BBBS Duck Derby & Duck N Run 5K will now be Virtual
The isolation we're all feeling now is often what our youth feel when
they don’t have a mentor or positive role model in their lives. Please
help support mentoring for at-risk youth in our community by joining
the Virtual 2020 Duck N Run 5k!
We are prioritizing the health and safety of our runners, walkers,
sponsors, volunteers, and staff and are responding to guidance from
health and governmental officials and are switching our Duck Derby and
Duck N Run 5k to a virtual event. We encourage you to walk or run
wherever you are, anytime between now and August 6th. This is a chance
to show our strength in a challenging time, and a chance to get outside
and be active with our virtual community across Shelby & Darke
County. The Duck Derby drawing will take place on August 6th at 7:30 pm
via Facebook Live on the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke
County Facebook page and will be recorded and shared on our other
social media platforms and webpage at www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org.
This is a chance to prove that not only will we conquer the
Coronavirus, but we will conquer the isolation that at-risk youth
experience in our community.
