2020 Virtual Walk/Run Challenge Supporting
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati
Break out those running, walking or hiking shoes to become a Defender of Potential! On July 4th, we’ll kick off our #STEPUPBIG Challenge with a bang! Every day, starting July 4th through Labor Day (September 7), you’ll commit to run, walk and/or hike at least one mile, every day! That’s 66 days of getting active on your own time and at your own pace. Can you do more than one mile? Of course! But one mile is all you need to make it count.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR #BIGGERTOGETHER RAFFLE WINNERS!

For July’s Match of the Month, meet Little Sister Piper and her Big Sister Tiffany Mahan. They’ve been matched in our Site-Based Program at Lindeman Elementary in Erlanger since 2018. Tiffany works for the U.S. Playing Card company and often brings cool card games, like Super Hero Girls UNO, to play during their time together. Drawing is another favorite activity.
Since the school year ended early, they have been communicating through letters and have found ways to continue playing games. Along with the letters they write, they have games of tic-tac-toe going, as well as math games to help Piper stay ready for the next school year.
Piper and Tiffany’s match is one example of how our Site-Based Bigs and Littles are staying in touch during the health crisis. When asked how much she enjoys being matched with Tiffany, Piper said 10 out of 10!
Are you ready to be a Big Brother or Big Sister? We have children on our waiting list ready to be matched and our social workers are ready to talk with you. Apply today and help us help more kids! #CincyBigs

URGENT 4/20/20 - The most successful mentoring program in Warren County is at risk of ending services to children and families because of COVID-19 related funding cuts. The current crisis has required United Way of Warren County to suspend our funding as resources shift to much needed virus related programs. Additionally, we’ve lost critical revenue from cancelling all in-person fund raising events.
This funding shortfall is heartbreaking news for the children we serve in Warren County who need our support now more than ever. This is not the time to end the powerful and life-changing work being done by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati in Warren County, especially when the children and families count on the lifeline provided by the agency.
During our 40 years of mentoring in Warren County, we’ve never made an urgent appeal like this. But these are unprecedented times and your donation will defend the potential of Warren County children benefiting by having a mentor in their life. Click here to see how our amazing Warren County Big Brothers and Big Sisters are helping to raise the money needed to save our program.

While our offices are closed we are still making new matches and supporting existing ones as the communities we serve deal with the Coronavirus. Now more than ever, the most vulnerable children in our community need positive adult role models to defend their potential during these difficult times.
