Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati is pleased to announce a significant step forward in the agency’s work with trauma informed care to support Little Brothers and Little Sisters through a $40,000 Impact Grant from the E. Kenneth and Esther Marie Hatton Foundation. The Hatton Foundation has been a longtime supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters and wanted to be a significant funder in underwriting the work in helping children overcome and heal from toxic stress due to adverse childhood experiences. Kathy List, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati, says, “The support from the Hatton Foundation will allow us to educate and coach our professional staff and volunteer Big Brothers and Big Sisters in delivering trauma informed care best practices as we make this a focal point for all of our match support.”
What could make this news even better? Longtime supporter the Total Quality Logistics Foundation provided the agency with a challenge grant to match all new funds up to $50,000 annually for three years. The TQL Foundation matched the Hatton Foundation grant dollar for dollar, thus doubling the support and impact for 2019!

Meet Big Sister Sidney Miles and Little Sister Chloe
Sidney and Chloe just celebrated their one-year match anniversary. They get together almost weekly and enjoy summer activities outside the most, so this is their favorite time of the year. They recently enjoyed playing at the park and they love to go swimming and get ice cream. Chloe, who hopes to own a pizzeria when she grows up, wants everyone to know she likes to go to the store, play with toys and ride bikes.
Chloe’s grandma tell us that Sidney is a great Big Sister, a “wonderful person who Chloe and the family just adore.” She said Sidney is a great role model for Chloe and helps her have new experiences she would not otherwise be able to do. Sidney, who lives in Florence and attends the University of Cincinnati, says being a friend and mentor to her Little Sister is important. Sidney also enjoys being involved with Chloe’s family, and even joined in their Halloween party last fall. She got to be part of the family’s Halloween costume—they all dressed up as Wizard of Oz characters.
As for Chloe, she says she is super excited about her match with Sidney and is always looking forward to the next adventure with her Big Sister.
Our thanks to Sidney, Chloe and the whole family for being part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati. Together, we are Defenders of Potential!
