Big Brothers Big Sisters Month

 

September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month

Imagine who they will become because of you…

We want to show the impact of Mentoring to the world throughout Big Brothers Big Sisters Month in September and BBBS Day on September 18th, and we hope to leave a lasting impression all year long. This September, #ImagineBBBS and support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Waterloo Region in our effort to teach Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and surrounding townships why Mentorship is so important.

In Waterloo Region alone, there are constantly over 200 children on the waitlist for a Big Brother or Big Sister. Imagine how #KWAwesome it would be if everybody knew how they could help. Imagine a world where every kid had the resources to achieve their potential. Imagine a world where kids are reminded that they can become anybody they can dream of. You can help us do this. Imagine who they will become because of you…

Whether you’re ready to spread the word or to move mountains, there are endless opportunities for you to support us on our mission to help every child reach their full potential this September. Getting involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters Month is easy, here’s what’s happening.

  • Point-of-Sale Campaigns
    • Businesses throughout Waterloo Region are all chipping in by raising funds at their point-of-sale! Through a donation bin at checkout, donation requests by employees, or donating a percentage of sales, Imagine the impact our community as a whole can have. Will you pitch into the POS campaign this month?
