We are excited to announce that five of the beautiful Art of Friendship pieces, created by are Bigs & Littles, are now available as note cards!  This wonderful project was sponsored by the Philanthropic Committee at Ingram Micro.  A BIG thank you for their support of our Bigs & Littles expressing themselves creatively and for sponsoring this unique project!   You can have a note card set of your very own for a $5.00 donation to BBBSEC.  With the inside blank, they make wonderful all occasion cards!  You can learn more about getting a set of your very own by clicking here.  We are also looking for opportunities to “set up shop” at local companies and events.

Our BIG Give campaign has officially kicked off!  The BIG Give is an online fundraising effort of current Big Brothers and Big Sisters to help raise the funds necessary to move more kids off the waiting list into matches with Bigs of their very own.  For every $1,000.00 raised, we can match a new Big & Little together!  Visit The BIG Give page to pledge a Big Brother or Big Sister you know or donate to our general BIG Give fund. Thanks!!
