First, I want to thank each and everyone of you that helped me reach my goal last year.
The fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters is here again and I have pledged to raise 1000.00 in this years Bowl For Kid's Sake fundraiser.
I would appreciate any help our members can give me with this. Even $15.00 would be appreciated immensely. This is a little you should know about what this is for:
Big Brothers Big Sisters helps match at risk children from poverty stricken, at risk households with mentors.
The funds they receive from this event stays in Ford County and goes toward the children in Ford County.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and its agencies and affiliates are nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations and as such accept contributions which are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is the most effective youth mentoring association in America.
Research and anecdotal evidence show specifically that BBBS one-to-one mentoring helps at-risk youth overcome the many challenges they face. Little Brothers and Sisters are less likely to begin using illegal drugs, consume alcohol, skip school and classes, or engage in acts of violence. They have greater self-esteem, confidence in their schoolwork performance, and are able to get along better with their friends and families.
Pledging me is simple. I have a website which will allow you to contribute directly to Ford County BBBS for this event by check or credit card.
Go here to pledge or to monitor my progress toward my goal of 1000.00
