HAPPY NEW YEAR!
January 2021
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, a devastating
disaster season, political unrest, and more challenges, to
witness the outstanding generosity of our supporters is
humbling. The work that we do at Big Brothers Big Sisters
would not be possible without this support!
Whether it’s building confidence, improving grades, or
creating better relationships between Littles, their
families, and schoolmates, together, we are helping
mid-south youth realize their potential.
Even in the wake of all of the challenges we face now in
the year 2021, we are excited to see what the future holds
for our
organization and the Mid-South we love.
As we begin this new year, we realize that people
throughout our great city and across the nation have
made resolutions with plans for a better year. Your list
may include connecting with friends and loved ones,
practicing self-care, planning a vacation, or just
spending more time doing the things you love. We hope
that you will also include investing in a child’s life-
particularly mentoring a Little.
January is National Mentoring Month. It is also the
month that we invite the public to answer the call of
service in honor of one of the great service leaders the
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We invite you and at
least one person you know to become a Big. The first
step is attending a virtual orientation session
(register here.)
For just two hours per month or $2 per day, you can
change the trajectory of a child’s future forever.
The Be A Big and Donate buttons are listed below, so
feel free to click the links to enroll or donate. Feel
free to follow our links to meet a few of our Bigs. I
hope that their stories will inspire you, just as they
have inspired me.
Stay healthy and safe.
Sincerely,
Susan George
Executive Director
