A Message From Theresa's King Pins for Littles

Over a year ago I became a Big Sister to an amazing 14-year-old girl named Morgan. She faces many challenges in her life and I hope to be a positive role model and mentor for her during the challenging teenage years. We get together almost every Sunday doing things such as painting at Color Me Mine, going to the movies, baking at my house, walking on the beach with my dog, Lucy (who Morgan adores), bike riding, going to Top Golf, making terrariums at Plant Bar, bowling and many other fun outings. I know the time together is a break from her sometimes difficult home life. Although Morgan still has many struggles I feel that I am a positive influence in her life and am making a difference. All children have potential and as Morgan’s BIG I have become her Defender of Potential. I also am a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Advisory Board to help raise money to support this amazing organization. It is an extremely well-run, professional organization that has been an incredible support system to me as I navigate my relationship with my Little. Please join me in supporting the BBBS virtual Bowl for Kid’s Sake on April 25 and make a donation – any amount counts! Thank you!

In Support of Big Brothers Big Sisters Services, Inc.
Active in Virginia since 1962, Big Brothers Big Sisters creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. BBBS serves youths ages 6 to 18 by matching youth (Littles) with caring, consistent adult mentors (Bigs). Bigs and Littles meet weekly and work towards goals that help the Little build social skills, increase academic achievement, and create healthy lifestyles. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides mentors throughout Greater Richmond, Tri-Cities, Hampton Roads and the Greater Virginia Peninsula.
YOUR GIFT MATTERS

$5,000

Sponsor the recruitment of new mentors for a year. 70% of requests for a Big come from single parents of boys, but only 40% of mentors are men. Help us recruit the mentors we need through media, events, corporate lunch & learns, and more.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

$2,500

Sponsor a training opportunity for 30 Bigs. Training of Bigs goes beyond initial orientation. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides training on LGBTQ+ inclusivity, fact vs. value based decision making and current trends in drug and alcohol use.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

$1,000

Sponsor the first year of coaching for a Match. Each Match receives professional support from our staff, including monthly check-ins, coaching and training. This adds up to 32 hours of coaching per match during their first year.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

$500

Sponsor the costs of ten background checks for potential mentors. Child safety is the first factor in matching Bigs & Littles and is key to ensure we clear the path to a child's brightest future. Each potential Big has an extensive, layered background check completed prior to their interview.
