  • 2021 marks the inaugural year of our Defenders Circle – a multi-year fundraising campaign to clear our annual waiting list by providing the funds necessary ($480,000 per year) to match children with a Big Brother/Sister. Our campaign will conclude on September 24, 2021 when we gather at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Downtown Cincinnati for the BIG Breakfast featuring Rodney McMullen and David Taylor. They will discuss the importance of mentoring in their personal and business lives. Please help us honor Rodney and David for their exceptional mentorship and leadership during the pandemic and reach our Defenders Circle goal of $1,440,000 — $480,000 each year for three years.

    Your investment will allow Big Brothers Big Sisters to make and support more matches for at-risk kids in our local community.  $1,200 per match covers background checks, screening, training and ongoing professional case management support for volunteers as well as home visits and assessments of need for youth.
