Welcome to Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region
Our mission: Create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
Our vision: All youth achieve their full potential.
By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community we are accountable for each child in our program achieving higher aspirations, greater confidence, educational success, and better relationships while avoiding risk-taking behaviors.
We are honored and thrilled to once again participate in
Match Madness with Partnership for Better Health.
This year, we have several ways you can MULTIPLY YOUR GIFT!
1) Triple Your Donation! The first $1,000 raised will be matched dollar for dollar, by Partnership for Better Health and Belco Community Credit Union. So if you want to triple your impact, make your gift today!
2) Stretch Pool! We will be receiving a portion of the $150,000 match from the Partnership for Better Health so the more we raise, the bigger the percentage we receive.
3) Belco is Matching Dollar for Dollar! Belco Community Credit Union has generously offered to contribute $5,000 of matching dollars to BBBS of the Capital Region.
LET’S DO THIS! With Belco’s $5,000, the $5,000 we raise, plus $1,000 of matching dollars and a percentage of the $150,000 stretch pool from the Partnership, we can easily raise over $10,000!
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Your gift will help us support our Cumberland County Bigs and Littles. In addition to our community-based program, we have 7 programs across 5 school districts in the county.
Thanks to you, kids like Ryder will meet amazing Bigs like Brandon! CLICK HERE for their story.
