This month, we are kicking off a campaign called Match Madness! In the month of July, we have the crazy, ambitious and important goal of making 10 matches. That's 10 kids on our waiting list of 26 kids that can meet their Big THIS MONTH. These kids have been waiting for too long and we need your help so we can #EndTheWait! Are you interested in being a Big? Do you know someone that would be a great mentor? You can help us make this month a major success!
Tune in throughout the month as we share Waiting Little profiles and podcast episodes highlighting these kids and the difference a mentor makes in the life of a child. Every single one of these kids has enormous potential, we just need a Big to defend it!
If you're interested in becoming a Big or adopting a match, contact us today!

BBBS Program Overview and Match Madness Goals
Episode 1 of the Match Madness campaign brings you Beverly Pearch and Monique Duke from Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Central Ohio. These wonderful ladies explain everything you need to know about the program, how it works, and just how EASY it is to become a Big. But more than easy, becoming a Big is IMPORTANT in the development of the youth in our communities.
Learn all about the Match Madness campaign that's happening throughout the month of July 2020. There are 26 waiting Littles on the wait list, and the campaign goal is to match 10 of those littles with mentors during July.
COVID has taken its toll on the program as mentor applications have decreased during the crisis. This campaign is a call to the community for adults to rise up and become Bigs.
Every child needs as many positive role models as possible. So what are you waiting for?

Talking to Trey - One of Our Awesome Waiting Littles
As Match Madness gets underway, we bring you the perspective from one of the actual waiting littles on our wait list - Trey Bassett. Trey and his mother, Kasey, join BBBS staff members Brittany Carman and Mandy Thomas to discuss what sort of mentor Trey is hoping for. You'll hear what activities he likes, what sort of things he'd like to do with a Big, and what he wants to be when he grows up.
Also, Kasey explains how the Big Brothers Big Sisters program has impacted her family as she has 5 children, 4 of whom are part of the program. Trey is the last child in his family waiting for a Big, and with his quick smile and fun personality, he hopefully won't be waiting for long!
