💙BIG Appreciation for Gracie!💙

Today is Gracie’s last day with BBBS and we want to take a moment to celebrate her and the incredible impact she has made on our agency and community.

Over the past few years, Gracie has poured her heart, passion, and dedication into supporting the youth, families, volunteers, and BBBS as a whole. From building meaningful connections through our mentoring programs to helping bring fundraisers and events to life, she has been an important part of what makes BBBS what it is! Gracie always shows up with compassion, commitment, and a genuine passion for making a difference.

While we are so sad to see her go, we are beyond grateful for the time she has spent with us and the difference she has made!

Gracie, thank you for being part of our story and helping us build a stronger, more connected community through mentoring. We will miss having you on our team but are so excited for you as you begin your next adventure!! We wish you all the happiness, success, and BIG things ahead! ⭐️

Once a part of our BIG family, always a part of it💙✨

We had the best visit with Deanna from Nowco Home Hardware and Blackfalds Home Hardware last week!

We wanted to take a moment to give their stores and their amazing employees the BIGGEST thank you for helping us sell ducks for our 3rd Annual Rubber Duck Drop! Because of their support, we were able to sell enough ducks to make it possible to drop over 1000 rubber ducks🐥🚁

We are so grateful for community partners like you who continue to show up for BBBS and help us make BIG things happen 💙

Thanks for being part of the fun!!

🎉 Happy birthday to our incredible Mentoring Coordinator, Gracie! 💛

If you know Gracie, you know she is one of the kindest, most caring, and compassionate people you will ever meet. She brings the calm to our office, the patience to every conversation and somehow always knows just what to say when we need it most.

We are so lucky to have Gracie as part of our BBBS family! She pours so much heart into the youth, families, volunteers, and everyone she meets, and we are beyond grateful for all that she does. 💫

We know you spent your birthday outside in the cold at the Duck Drop but we hope you still had the best day!

Happy Birthday, Gracie! 🎂✨

💙We are SO thankful!💙

We have the amazing team from Scott Builders Inc. in our office this week giving our match area a much needed makeover!!

The Scott Builders team is generously donating their time, talents, and resources to help bring this to life and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support!⭐️

Having a welcoming, comfortable space for our matches to connect is so important. It’s a place where mentors and mentees can feel at home, spend time together, build their relationships, and make BIG memories 💙

We are so excited to see this space come together! Stay tuned for the finished results!!

Thank you Scott Builders for helping us enhance our space where connections can grow ⭐️💙
