Tune in for our online program to learn more about our pivot to virtual programming during the pandemic and maintaining our positive, measurable results. Not only will you have a fun evening, but guests have an opportunity to make an investment directly to our programs, and participate in our web-based auction. Last year we netted close to $500,000 with a sell-out crowd but we need you to tune in this year and share the link with others!
It costs about $1,500 to provide a child with a mentor for one year—covering background checks and ongoing support services that are the key to ensuring that each match between a Big and a Little will be successful. Last year, 97% of the kids in our program went on to the next grade level and 99% had no involvement with the juvenile justice system. For the children we serve, the impact of your financial support can last a lifetime. With your help, more at-risk children in our community will have a caring adult role model in their lives—and a much better chance of fulfilling their potential.
