Title: StepUpBig with [Insert your First Name] to help Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati
Description: Despite COVID19, Big Brothers Big Sisters Greater Cincinnati continues to serve children in the tristate area (13 counties). We have many children on the wait list for a Community Based mentor and now more than ever they need a friend to talk to and provide support. COVID19 has also put us well behind our annual fundraising goals to help support these matches.
