THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our Block Party to kick off our building renovation. For 47 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tucson has been a part of the Tucson community -- over nearly five decades, we've helped change the lives of over 10,000 Tucson boys and girls. With the help of Angel Charity for Children, we obtained our office building in 1994, and are now working to bring our facilities into the 21st Century, in step with other downtown Tucson revitalization efforts.

A Big THANK YOU to Rae's Place for the delicious food at our block party, and to artist Joe Pagac, for providing a terrific mural for our building!
