A Message From Rick & Lynne Merk

We thought Big Brothers Big Sisters was just for young adults - or only for single adults - but we were wrong. Bigs can be any age and couple's matches - like ours - are possible too. In 2017, we were lucky to meet our Little Brother, King. He has been a true blessing in our lives. We enjoy hiking, playing various sports, baking, playing board games, going to car shows, etc. King especially likes playing the game Aggravation - and he almost always beats us! King asks thoughtful questions - noticing things and wanting to know more. We are thankful to his parents for allowing us to be part of his life. We HOPE others will consider becoming Bigs - giving themselves the opportunity to make a difference in the life of an amazing young person while also enriching their own. It costs BBBS $1200 to create and support the BIg(s)/Little match for one year. Thanks for helping us in raising funds for this valuable mentoring program.

In Support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati
We create life-changing friendships by matching adult mentors with  at-risk Tri-State children in need of positive role models.  We partner with parents and guardians, volunteers and others in the community, and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program. Statistics show these Little Brothers and Sisters have higher aspirations, greater confidence, do better in school and avoid risky behaviors.
