Help us Change how our Children grow up in Tucson
Big Brothers Big Sisters receives more than half of its operating income from private donations and special event fundraising. We depend on individuals, corporations, and foundations to invest in our program.
Recent census data indicates over 30,000 at risk children could benefit from Big Brother Big Sisters programs here in the Tucson area. In today's economy, we are working harder for every dollar we receive. As we grow more efficient fiscally, we also continue to grow in terms of the number of children we serve. We are firmly committed to matching every child who needs and wants a Big Brother or Big Sister. Your generosity allows us to reach many more children in our community, improve their lives, and help them move from a position of risk to success.
Your support helps us pay for:
- The recruitment and training of "Big" volunteers
- The matching process, including background safety checks.
- Ongoing supervision and support of the match by highly trained match specialists
- Continued academic, vocational, cultural and social activities and programs which enrich the lives and opportunities for children and their families.
