💚🖤 Building Stronger Matches, One Challenge at a Time! 💚🖤

Our BBBS matches recently enjoyed fun team-building activities that involved communication skills, our Bigs and Littles had the opportunity to see how well they know each other, strengthen their teamwork, and learn even more about one another through a few challenges!

Special THANK YOU to Lalo's Sonora Style Dogs for welcoming our matches to their location to have our match activity and for providing a wonderful meal for our group - it was amazing! (Got to try them out 😉) and for supporting our program! Your generosity helps us continue creating meaningful experiences for our Bigs and Littles! Another, THANK YOU goes to Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers for providing one of the winners gift basket, we appreciate your support to our program.

💚 Match of the Month! 💚

This month, we’re celebrating Bella (High School Big) and Soe (Little) as our Match of the Month! 🎉 These two recently reached an exciting milestone: one year together!

Over the past year, they have built a friendship filled with support, fun, and meaningful moments. Bella loves watching Soe grow into her own person and seeing her personality shine, while Soe appreciates having Bella there to help and support her at school. 💚

We’re so proud of the friendship they’ve built and can’t wait to see what their next year together brings! 🥳
