Calls come in every day from parents, teachers and guidance counselors. They know what a difference a mentor can make in a child’s life. Your gift can help make Big magic for children in your local community by:

• Helping us to recruit new Big Brother and Big Sister volunteers
• Ensuring trained professionals match children to caring and responsible adult volunteers. 
• Offering one-to-one, ongoing supervision and support for every match
• Providing cultural and social activities to enrich the opportunities for
• children

And 92.2% of every dollar you give goes directly to making and supporting matches; the remainder covers overall program administration.

Research shows that our mentoring works. Kids with a Big Brother or Big Sister show real differences in their personal and academic lives. They are:

• More confident in their schoolwork performance
• Able to get along better with their families
• 52% less likely to skip school.*

Think about a child who has wished for a Big Brother or Big Sister. Someone to have fun with and confide in. Someone to be a mentor. A guide. A friend. Now … think of how your gift can bring magic to the life of that child.
