We are so proud to have this partnership with the Neosho School District.

💚 BIG NEWS FROM JASPER SCHOOLS! 💚

This morning, we officially launched our High School Bigs program at Jasper R-5 School District, and we couldn't be more excited!

Through this program, high school students have the opportunity to become mentors to younger students, building friendships, encouraging confidence, and making a difference right in their own school community.

One of the things we love about High School Bigs is that the impact goes both ways. Our Littles gain someone to look up to, while our High School Bigs discover the difference they can make simply by showing up, being a friend, and investing in someone else.

A HUGE thank you to Jasper Schools for partnering with us to make this opportunity possible!

Today was more than the launch of a new program. It was the beginning of new friendships, new opportunities, and BIG possibilities! 💚

🍁 TWO DAYS. TWO FUNDRAISERS. ONE GREAT CAUSE! 💚

We're gearing up for a BIG weekend at the Maple Leaf Festival, and we need your help making it a success!

🥤 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 | Soda & Water Booth

Heading to the Friday Night Concert? Stop by our booth and grab a cold drink! We'll have water and a variety of your favorite sodas available. Every purchase helps support local kids through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jasper and Newton Counties!

A BIG thank you to Josh Meeker - Shelter Insurance, for generously donating the water for this fundraiser!

🍗 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 | TURKEY LEGS ON THE SQUARE

Come hungry! We're partnering with Butterball to serve up some delicious, BIG turkey legs during the Maple Leaf Festival!

Whether you're watching the parade, exploring the Square, or just coming for the food, make sure you stop by and grab a turkey leg (or two 😉).

💚 Here's the best part!

You're not just buying a drink or a turkey leg. You're helping us create and support life-changing mentoring relationships for kids right here in Jasper and Newton Counties.

We know there will be plenty of places to spend your money this weekend, and we would be grateful if you chose to spend a little of it with us!

Come see us Friday AND Saturday! Bring your friends, bring your family, and bring your appetite!

🍁 Great Food. Brighter Futures. 💚

💚 MATCH MONDAY: A MATCH WORTH CELEBRATING! 💚

Meet Shiva and Richie! 🎉

Every new match is something worth celebrating, but this one comes with an EXTRA special milestone!

🥳 Richie is the 100th child served by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jasper and Newton Counties in 2026! 🥳

💯 100 kids. 100 opportunities. 100 lives impacted by the power of mentorship.

And while 100 is a number we're incredibly proud of, we know that behind every number is a child with a name, a story, and a future filled with possibilities.

Today, that child is Richie. And thanks to Shiva stepping up to be a Big, another young person has someone in their corner!

Please join us in welcoming Shiva and Richie to the Big Brothers Big Sisters family and celebrating this HUGE milestone! 💚

Here's to 100 and to all the stories still waiting to be written!

Stop by and grab a turkey leg at the Maple Leaf Festival!

On Saturday, October 17th, the historic Carthage Square will be PACKED with over 100 vendors, including several new food vendors ready to serve up something delicious! 🦃🍁

Even better? Some of that good food is doing some good, too! ❤️

Butterball of Carthage will be serving up big ol’ smoked turkey legs, with proceeds benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jasper & Newton Counties!

Because really... can you go wrong with a giant smoked turkey leg? We think not. 😋

📍 Find the Butterball crew on the southwest corner of the Carthage Square and grab a turkey leg for a cause! 🍗❤️

💚 MATCH MONDAY — TIMES 20! 💚
This isn’t just another Match Monday.
This is our biggest week of new matches in more than a year.

This week, we are officially welcoming 20 NEW MATCHES through the Neosho Schools Fast Track U program! 🎉

TWENTY new matches. ONE incredible week.

These matches are made possible in part through the generous support of Community Bank & Trust . We’re grateful for their investment in mentoring and in the young people of our community.

And thank you to Neosho Schools, every Big who said YES, and everyone who continues to support the work of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jasper and Newton Counties.

🎉 Congratulations, Owen! 🎉
Our Back to College Prize Pack winner stopped by the office to pick up his goodies, but that wasn’t the best part of his visit.
While he was here, Owen also completed his interview to become a Big Brother! 💚
Winning a prize pack is pretty cool. Stepping up to make a difference in the life of a young person? That’s even better.
Thanks, Owen, for entering and even more importantly, for taking the next step toward becoming a Big!
We’re excited to see what comes next! 💚
