Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a non-profit
United Way member agency. Proceeds from the event will benefit
our local Big Brothers Big Sisters agency which matches at-risk
children with volunteer role models. These volunteers are
screened thoroughly and 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 volunteers can
do with their matched Littles. In the past, companies and
individuals have donated various things to local events, sporting
events, or hosted a special outing for the Big Brothers Big Sisters
group.
