This month, we are kicking off a campaign called Match Madness! In the month of July, we have the crazy, ambitious and important goal of making 10 matches. That’s 10 kids on our waiting list of 26 kids that can meet their Big THIS MONTH. These kids have been waiting for too long and we need your help so we can #EndTheWait! Are you interested in being a Big? Do you know someone that would be a great mentor? You can help us make this month a major success!
Tune in throughout the month as we share Waiting Little profiles and podcast episodes highlighting these kids and the difference a mentor makes in the life of a child. Every single one of these kids has enormous potential, we just need a Big to defend it!

About the Show
Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Central Ohio will be kicking off their recruitment campaign, “Match Madness,” by releasing 2 podcast episodes each week during the month of July. The goal of the campaign is to get 10 matches for kids who are currently waiting for a mentor. The agency currently has 26 waiting littles, some of whom have been on the list for 5 years. There are 22 boys and 4 girls on the waiting list, 8 from Carroll County and 18 from Tuscarawas County. The kids range in age from 7-16.
BBBS is looking for individuals in the community who want to make an impact. Bigs are men and women of all ages who live in Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties. Being a Big means spending a few hours a month to invest in the life and future of a child. You can include your little in activities you enjoy doing on a regular basis, such as shopping. dining, playing outside, watching movies, and spending time with your family. Support and encouragement from a Big can help improve many skills for a child, including self-confidence, healthy relationships, academics, and resiliency. Are you an adult who cares for children and wants them to reach their full potential?
During the COVID crisis, no matches were made due to the nationwide shut-down leading to a decrease in applications. And the kids are still waiting. Due to the isolation of the crisis, mentoring is now more important than ever. If you’re unable to volunteer but still want to help, BBBS is looking for sponsors to help fund the matches.
