Alumni Little Billy was matched with Big Dave through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati when he was just 7 years old. Dave became the positive male role model Billy needed, taking him to Cincinnati Reds games and Putt-Putt outings. Though they lost touch over the years, fate intervened when Billy, now a UPS driver, delivered a package to a man named "David Foster." “You’d be amazed how much a modest investment of time can make a difference. I couldn’t believe this 6’2” UPS driver just walked into my office, and it’s my Little Brother Billy!” said David. This uplifting reunion showcases the lasting impact of mentorship, a cornerstone of our multi-year partnership with UPS As UPS's first official mentoring partner, BBBSA is proud to collaborate in opening doors to diverse careers and creating equitable opportunities for youth across the nation! #BeBig #BiggerTogether

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butler County Big Cam and Little Davis are celebrating their 1-year match anniversary! From cheering on the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals to shooting hoops and teeing off at mini golf, their bond grows stronger with every game. Cam’s sideline support at Davis's team matches means the world to his Little Brother, who proudly tells friends about his amazing Big. "I would recommend it because it takes you out of your comfort zone. I had virtually no experience dealing with youth before Davis, but was reminded quickly of what it was like to be young. By talking to him, I was able to become a better listener and see how some of the advice I gave him could be used in his life," said Big Cam. #BeBig #BiggerTogether

I love the humility of this post. It’s easy to mistake leadership and success as the loudest voice, the first in line or who gets the most attention. When often it’s simply being the best teammate, executing your role to the fullest and bringing your best self to help the team win. It’s a lesson for us all to embrace and empower young people with everyday. And yes Tyrese you deserve every bit of that gold! Keep winning in life. #mondaymotivation #teamusa
