A Message From Michael Rodarte

Nick turned 10 this Spring, and in May, we celebrated being matched for a full year. While our relationship has only started to develop, I've already seen positive changes with Nick. He's improved his schoolwork, and we are attending tutoring weekly for areas he needs help in this Summer. He has ventured out and tried new things - ranging from Karate classes, overnight Summer camp, becoming a sushi connoisseur, canoeing, Xavier basketball camps to most recently starring in Skyline Chili commercials! Importantly, I've seen a big change in Nick's confidence and the way he interacts with adults. Our friendship has just begun, but I already feel a lasting bond with him. Please support Nick and other Little Brothers/Sisters like him, by sponsoring me as I literally "jump" over the edge of a Hotel in downtown Cincinnati this August. 100% of proceeds raised goes to sponsoring kids like Nick with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati

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.
