MATCH STORY MONDAY πŸ’š

Wendy and Norah have been matched since August 2024, and from day one it felt meant to be...they even discovered they share the same birthday!

From kayaking adventures to library homework sessions, they make fun out of every moment. Wendy has loved watching Norah grow, take on a new school with confidence, and navigate change with an open mind.

For Wendy, being a Big has been a truly rewarding experience...full of joy, connection, and pride in watching Norah shine. πŸ’™

As we reflect on the journey toward freedom, equality, and opportunity, we recognize the power of seeing potential, opening doors, and helping young people envision a brighter future.

Because every child deserves the chance to thrive.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Alumni Hall of Fame celebrates extraordinary leaders whose lives and accomplishments reflect the lasting impact of mentorship.

Congratulations to this year's inductee, Jericka Duncan, national correspondent and anchor of CBS Weekend News. Many in Western New York will remember Jericka from her years reporting right here in Buffalo at News 4 WIVB Buffalo.

We're proud to celebrate her achievements and the positive influence that mentoring relationships can have for a lifetime.

Congratulations, Jericka, on this well-deserved honor!

Meet Cherie and Razar. They have been matched since June 2024!

Whether they're singing along to music, catching a movie, enjoying a meal, or spending time outdoors, they've built a friendship filled with fun, trust, and understanding.

"It is a selfless and rewarding role that makes a huge impact on the next generation," says Cherie. "It is life-altering for both the Bigs and Littles involved."

Thank you, Cherie, for making a BIG difference in Razar's life! πŸ’š

$200,000.
That's not just a statistic.
That's a future.
One caring adult.
One meaningful relationship.
One changed life.
Research shows that youth with mentors earn an average of **$200,000 more over their lifetimes** than their non-mentored peers.
Imagine what one relationship could do.
Want to help shape a future?
Become a Big. ❀️

Bills turf. BIG smiles. πŸ’šπŸˆ

Just a stone’s throw from the new stadium, our Bigs and Littles spent the day at One Bills Drive learning the fundamentals of flag football, running drills, cheering each other on, and making memories together.

There was a little friendly competition, plenty of laughter, and a whole lot of team spirit. But beyond the football, the day was about building confidence, strengthening friendships, and creating moments our Littles will remember for years to come.

The smiles say it all. πŸ’š

Golden moment. ✨

After hours of laughter, teamwork, and fun at One Bills Drive, our Bigs and Littles from Buffalo and Rochester came together for one last huddle on the field after an incredible day of flag football.

These are the moments that matter most - connections made, confidence built, friendships strengthened, and memories created.

BIG dubs and BIG moments all around. πŸ’š
Stay tuned for a closer look at some of the magic from today. ✨

BIG Dubs all around. 🏈

Today’s flag football game was full of big plays, big smiles, and even bigger memories. Watching our Littles laugh, cheer each other on, and simply be kids reminded us what this program is all about.

Their joy says it all. ❀️
