Alumni Little Braxton is finishing his sophomore year at Jacksonville State University in a BIG way—he was recently included in a research publication! Braxton was matched with his Big Brother Odell in October 2021, hoping for someone to guide him through life skills like job readiness, building credit, and saving for a car—and that’s exactly what he got. With Odell’s support: ✅Braxton landed his first job as a busboy, quickly promoted to host with a raise ✅ He graduated from Theodore High School in 2023 with multiple college acceptances ✅ He accepted a scholarship to Jacksonville State University Though matched for just under two years, their bond was deep. Braxton’s mom shared that they were “really like siblings” because of the connection they developed in such a short time. Keep up the great work, Braxton! (fb)

Big Sister Katrina and Little Sister Zerriel were due for a check-in, so they decided to mix it up and join the fun at Top Golf. It turns out Zerriel was more than ready to show Katrina how it’s done! We love seeing our matches create joyful, spontaneous moments together. Whether it’s catching up over golf swings or just spending time side by side, mentorship is all about connection, laughter, and shared experiences. Here’s to making memories that last far beyond the game. 💚 #BiggerTogether #BBBSAdventures #MentorshipMatters #TopGolfFun (fb)
