Congratulations to the Cincinnati Bengals on an amazing season!
Now that the season is over, it's time for THE BIG DRAFT! While the NFL is getting ready to draft players, Big Brothers Big Sisters is kicking off our own Draft: We're drafting Bigs. It's time to recruit the next generation of life-changing mentors. You've got what it takes, and we want you on our team. GET IN THE GAME. BE A BIG. |

February is Black History Month, annual celebration of achievements by Black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. History. It is also a time to reflect on the important work we all must keep doing to achieve equity and social justice.
We have assembled a shortlist of resources and opportunities to participate in throughout Black History Month (and beyond) and we hope you find these valuable as we work together in continued education and conversation. |

READY FOR THE 25TH RUNNING OF THE FLYING PIG?
BBBS of Greater Cincinnati is proud to be an official charity partner of the 25th annual Flying Pig Marathon. Check out all the ways you can be involved thanks to the partnership between BBBS and the BIG PIG! |
We continue to learn that "Everyone has a story," and each life impacted by our work is one that can make a positive difference for our community. There is story after story from our Bigs, Littles, young adults, and families that remind us that everything we do matters.
In October 2022 Match Support Specialist Connie Venable received an email from longtime Big Brother Rob Maly. The subject line was “Grateful…….
….For you and the rest of BBBS organization for bringing my Little Brother Chaz into my life. Never would have thought I would have so much joy in watching him grow up, get a job, earning his CDL, become fun Uncle Chaz to my boy, buy a house, be a role model his sisters so desperately need. It's been over 15 years since you've hooked us up and look how far we've gone! (Sunrise on summit of Mt Ellinor, Washington)”
Rob and his Little Brother Chaz were matched in 2007 when Chaz was 12-years-old. Chaz was living with a single mom and 5 sisters and he was desperate for some male bonding. Rob was the perfect fit. Over the course of their match they built a lasting relationship. The match closed in 2014 when Chaz graduated high school, but that certainly wasn’t the end of their relationship. Rob says Chaz comes to his house for dinner every Sunday, and they are family.
