I hope you will join me in my efforts to help match a waiting child with a Big Brother, Big Sister or Big Couple.

In a time where at risk kids need strong mentors and our communities need connections between people from different backgrounds, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City has consistently demonstrated its ability to create these lasting friendships.

The BBBSKC program is free to Littles and their families, but it costs $1,500 to support a match for a year, and $250 to recruit each new Big. As a board member/Ambassador for over 10 years, I have seen the successes of increased graduation rates, reduced drug and alcohol abuse and driving increases in reported self-esteem.  When you give, your generosity helps empower the potential of the next generation of college graduates, community leaders, and entrepreneurs.

If you're able, could you help by donating to my fundraiser today?  Any amount helps.

Together, we are Defenders of Potential.
