Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County’s Post

This past Friday we hosted our collaborative match event with MCAS Miramar called Wings for Littles. At the event, matches were able to receive a tour of base which included seeing the C130 cargo trainer, hanger, and flight line. Matches were also given the opportunity to try the F/A-18 Simulator(the same ones pilots in training use!) and our Littles were naturals! Some Littles were better than the Bigs. Special Thanks to Capt. Campbell(TS) and Capt. Davis who provided such a special and awesome opportunity for our matches.  

Our first Sports Bigs event, a hike at Torrey Pines, was incredible!🚶 These inspiring Bigs and Littles bonded over breathtaking views, creating memories that will last a lifetime. 🚀 Ready to make a difference? Sign up today to become a part of Sports Bigs! https://lnkd.in/gypWf8Yi

We are deeply grateful for the generous support of the La Jolla Kawanis! Last Friday, our CEO Tina Rose shared with the Kawanis group about our current need for mentors, and received a check from Kawanis representatives, Susan Callahan and Bob Steck, in support of our mentoring programs. A touching moment followed when a Kawanis member shared his heartfelt story of reconnecting with his Little Brother after many years and learning about the incredible impact he had on his life. Thank you, La Jolla Kawanis, for helping us make a difference in the lives of so many young people!  Together, we are building brighter futures. #ThankYou #MentoringMatters #BBBS #CommunitySupport
