Welcome to Our 3nd Year!!!

Our goal is to raise $100,000 to provide ongoing professional support to children facing adversity, their families and volunteer mentors.

Individual Rappel

You have the chance to rappel 220 feet down the Market Square Plaza Building (17 N. 2nd Street) in downtown Harrisburg! Are you up for the challenge?

Fundraise $1,000 by asking family, friends, coworkers and club members to donate to provide children facing adversity with a mentor, a Big. Then, we’ll send you Over the Edge as congratulations for supporting the children in our program, Littles.

Registration will open in April.

Featured Story

Jae’Quan is the only boy in his family and his father isn’t able to be around consistently. At 10 years old, his family brought him to BBBSCR, and he was soon matched with Jonathan and Andrea. He spends time with his mentors and their family and also enjoys one on one time with Jonathan.

BBBSCR staff gives advice to Jonathan on how to help Jae’Quan navigate peer pressure and the various challenges he faces. Jonathan’s goal is to provide fun positive experiences while being a consistent role model in his Little Brother’s life.

Jonathan is terrified of heights. But when he went Over the Edge in 2017, he proved to Jae’Quan that their friendship is bigger than his fear.

Jonathan will be rappelling on October 19th along with other coworkers from Stonebridge Financial Group. We invite you to go Over the Edge with Jonathan or come cheer him on with Jae’Quan.
