At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we believe every child deserves someone in their corner who sees their strength, hears their voice, and helps them grow. We stand with the LGBTQ+ community, working to expand access to mentorship for all youth. When young people feel like they truly belong, they start to see just how far their potential can take them. #PrideMonth #BiggerTogether (fb)

We’re striving to make this summer the Best Summer Ever for our Littles. donate.bbbschgo.org/bestsummerever Along with having a Big in their life, positive childhood experiences are a proven way to counter the trauma that too many of the young people in our community face. To foster a sense of community and provide a positive social experience for Littles, this Summer we're providing three standout events: In June, Field Day will bring matches together for a day of play, learning new sports like pickleball and flag football. In July, we'll host the Great America Takeover, where matches will spend an unforgettable day at Six Flags Great America. In August, our Back-to-School BBQ Block Party will bring the BBBSChi community together to celebrate the new school year with joy and excitement. Our ask is simple: help make this the Best Summer Ever for BBBSChi Littles. With your support, we need to raise $52,000 so every child in our program has the chance to have fun, build meaningful connections, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Together, we can create life-changing experiences for Chicagoland youth. donate.bbbschgo.org/bestsummerever (fb)
