Meet our Big of the Month: Big Sister Maria!

She’s been matched with Little Sister Serenity for 1 year! 👏💚

✨What has been the most memorable moment in your match?

Serenity and I went roller-skating together for the first time and seeing her gain confidence while I taught her a new trick of skating backwards is something that was very memorable for me.

✨ Why does your match work so well?

Our match works out well for many reason! Serenity has been really brave and worked to open up to me as we have gotten to know each other better. Also her mother has always been so supportive and communicative.

✨ What is your experience being matched?
This experience has been very rewarding, I have been able to see Serenity open up a bit more and show her beautiful personality. We have gotten a chance to do a lot of fun activities and enjoy our shared love of roller skating. 🛼

Last Saturday, Johnson & Wales University hosted a Big Kick Soccer Clinic at Nevin Community Park for our Bigs & Littles. The day included a skills clinic, scrimmage, and a Q&A meet and greet with players from the JWU men’s and women’s soccer teams.

Thank you to JWU for creating such a fun and meaningful experience!

Thank you JELD-WEN Charlotte and Centric Consulting Charlotte for assembling 75 summer gift bags for our Littles filled with snacks, activities, and handwritten notes. Each bag was created with care to help our Littles stay active, curious, and connected all summer long. Moments like this remind our youth they are supported by a community that truly believes in them.

Thank you for showing up in such a meaningful way. 💚

It was more than bowling, it was community, connection, and showing up for our Littles in a meaningful way. Thank you to every team that was part of Bowl for Kids’ Sake! 💚
