“Thank you all so much for everything you do to put smiles on the faces of young people in our area. My two children have both benefited so much from your various programs, including the in-school mentoring … and the Big Brother program. Both my children always look forward to the activity days which you put on throughout the year and especially the Christmas party… It’s so nice that you offer bus transportation to get to your events too, since without a car we would not otherwise be able to attend these great get-togethers.” Single Mom of two children

“As a single Dad of two … after being laid off, auto repairs, and overwhelming bills, I actually thought Santa may not make it by this year. I was dead wrong!... It’s nice to know that people like yourselves still exist in this world. Me and my kids thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“A huge thank you to the most fabulous staff and to the many volunteers of big brothers big sisters. Another fantastic year of fun filled activities. If it was not for the agency my boys would have done nothing overly special. I also thank you for the caring friendship you have given me and my family.”

“I did a bake sale for math class … I made baked goods and sold them to the students and the staff… I decided to donate the money to the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program. I think your program helps people at my school.”

“I am so grateful to be able to work so closely with such an amazing group of people. Each of you added something incredibly positive to my learning experience. I have been able to grow, learn and do so much within this agency; it has been a dream come true. I don’t think just saying thank you is even close enough to what I feel should be said, I will never lose touch with Big Brothers Big Sisters because some day I would like to do for my community, what each of you all do everyday.”
