Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas

Today’s the day! Are you ready to join us in going BIG?   Today, Big Brothers Big Sisters is launching one of the most ambitious campaigns in our history. It’s our first national brand campaign in over a decade and we are excited to unveil, “IT TAKES LITTLE TO BE BIG.”   It Takes Little to Be Big is a simple yet powerful idea that the “little” moments positive adults spend with young people make a “BIG” difference in kids’ lives, as well as your own.   But we can’t do it alone. We’re rallying over 1 million alumni, supporters, and influential voices nationally to highlight the power of mentoring moments. And it all starts with YOU.   You have the power to change a life. You don’t have to be perfect, just present. It just takes a little time, a little persistence, and a little moment.   Are you ready to make a BIG impact in a child's life? Join us by volunteering, donating, or sharing your story at https://lnkd.in/eSt2vcjT   #BBBSCTX #Community #BeBig #BiggerTogether

Join us in celebrating the matches who reached milestone anniversaries in their mentoring relationships during the month of August! We’re excited to recognize our mentors and mentees for their achievements and milestones as they continue to grow their relationships. Thank you to all of our mentors, mentees, and their families! 💚 #BBBSCTX #Mentor #Relationships #Anniversay #BetterTogether

It’s ‘Feel Good Friday’ and there’s nothing that makes us feel better than seeing our matches out enjoying their time together in the community. Big Brother Max recently sent us a photo of himself and his Little Brother Sebastian enjoying time at the UT season opener a few weekends ago! Look at those smiles. We love this. This is what it's all about. Time together. #BBBSCTX #BiggerTogether #BeBig

Do you have an hour or so a week to spare? A Little time can make a Big difference for a child. Mentoring is not about being perfect. It's about being present. Learn more about how you can make a difference for kids in our community at www.BigMentoring.org #BBBSCTX #BiggerTogether #BeBig

Today, we remember and honor the almost 3,000 lives lost in the twin tower attacks that took place on this day 23 years ago. We will never forget. #BBBSCTX #BiggerTogether #Remembrance

We’re excited see what year 2 brings! We couldn’t wait to celebrate, so we started things off early with a little cake today. #BBBSCTX #BetterTogether

We’re excited to welcome another new match! Last week we introduced Big Sister Ruselle and Little sister Anastasia. Anastasia was shy and quiet at first, but by the end of the meeting, she already knew exactly what she wanted to do for their first outing. The pair agreed to go to Stone Hill in Pflugerville and window shop. Anastasia mentioned that it was the “cool place to hang out.” We’re looking forward to seeing how their relationship grows and what other ‘cool’ things they come up with! #BBBSCTX #BiggerTogether #ItTakesLittletobeBig

Help us make the perfect match by September 13th to serve more kids! We have an anonymous donor who has generously offered to match up to $40,000 in donations to our agency. If we meet this match, we’ll be able to serve another 64 kids! The clock is ticking. If you have not already done so, or if you would like to give again, please consider making a donation here: https://lnkd.in/gxH_W6G4) The first $40,000 in donations received will be doubled, making your impact go twice as far. Thank you! #BBBSCTX #BeBig #BetterTogether #ItTakesLittleToBeBig
