Help with Big Brothers, Big Sisters
Apr 24^th, 2009 at 1:55pm

As some of you may know, I like to help out the Big Brothers, Big Sisters chapter here in Wichita by participating in the annual Bowl for Kids' Sake program.

It's that time of the year again and I would like to ask for your help in making this year's program a success. I missed last years' Bowl for Kids' Sake so I'd really like to have a good pledge year this year. I understand the economy is rough, and I don't want anyone to feel in any way obligated to make a pledge. But if you feel you can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Your donation may be used to help recruit mentors for the waiting children, to ensure the safety of the children by covering the cost of background checks or to provide trained professionals to screen, interview, match and monitor the mentoring relationships. And as always with Big Brothers, Big Sisters, your donations are 100% tax deductible.

Please take a moment and consider making a pledge at my online donations page: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

or

THANK YOU very much for your support of this fantastic program!

Only TWO more days until our event. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far.

I reached my initial pledge goal but have re-adjusted and want to make a strong push these last couple of days to raise as much as possible for Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

If you haven't thought about supporting this fundraising opportunity yet, PLEASE consider doing anything you can.

1. bump

2. DJ - I attempted a donation - there was problems - I think it went through. If it did not just let me know and I can get you something via the PayPal button here if that is cool w/you.

3. If it did go through - sorry it was a meager amount. Things are tight around here - paycuts - hours reductions - etc.

4. I hope a few others will step up and help you out. If I can scratch something together so can a lot of people. Even a little bit, many times helps. A decade ago I was a Big Brother here in Milwaukee. It is hard, time consuming work and often there isn't much support for the people who are working with the children. That makes it even harders. And working with children who have no positive adult infulence may be some of the most important work one can do.
