From a first match outing to a BIG new chapter 🎉

Join us in congratulating Brian P., one of this year’s Be Big scholarship recipients, as he begins his journey at Eastern Kentucky University! 🐻

Brian has been matched with his mentor, Christian, for more than a decade. Over the years, their relationship has grown far beyond the traditional mentor-mentee dynamic. As Christian has navigated big milestones of his own—including getting married and becoming a father—Brian has been right there cheering him on and offering support, just as Christian has done for him.

Brian's future is built on mentorship, just like so many futures are when young people have a positive, caring adult in their corner. Congratulations, Brian! We can't wait to see where this next chapter takes you. 🎓💚

Preventing substance misuse starts long before a young person ever faces that choice. Strong, supportive relationships with caring adults help youth build confidence, strengthen decision-making skills, and develop healthy coping strategies.

Thank you to the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission for investing in prevention, youth development, and the power of mentorship to help Kentucky’s young people thrive!

Through our evidence-based programs, Big Brothers Big Sisters is empowering a future built on mentorship—helping young people build the protective factors and connections that contribute to healthier, more resilient communities. 💚

Love it when a one-of-a-kind auction package comes together 🥃💚

Our winners of the private chef dinner and Old Forester Master Taster experience at Mallard Hall Estate, one of Party for a Purpose's most sought-after auction items, had a phenomenal time redeeming their package earlier this week!

This evening full of excellent bourbon, incomparable food and wine pairings, and more was possible thanks to the care and generosity of several businesses and individuals supporting the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters: BIG thanks to Annette Vitale & Mallard Hall Estate, Volare Italian Ristorante Chef Josh Moore, and Old Forester Master Taster Melissa Rift for making this a night to remember for our supporters 🙌

The work we do for young people is only as strong as the team doing it. 💚

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana, everything we do is grounded in seven core values that guide how we show up — for each other, for our community, and most importantly, for the kids we serve.

🤝 Teamwork — because no child's potential is defended alone.
✅ Integrity — because the youth and families we serve deserve nothing less than our best.
💡 Innovation — because the next generation deserves programming that keeps pace with their world.
📣 Clear Communication — because trust is built one honest conversation at a time.
⚡ Positive Energy — so young people feel our energy in every room we walk into.
🏆 Professional Excellence — because showing up for kids means holding ourselves to the highest standard.
🎉 Have Fun! — because joy is not optional. It's part of the mission!

These aren't words on a wall. They're how we match mentors, serve families, grow programs, and show up every single day for the young people counting on us.
