🎥 Missed it live? Here's a snippet from our lunch break with The Real Quad Cities Show at D'Lua Fusion!

💚 BBBSMV along with Big Sister Amy and Over the Edge participant Dr. Mike chat about what it means to be a Big and why they’re taking the leap for local youth at this year's Over the Edge event.

From mentoring experiences to rappelling 11 stories down the Hotel Blackhawk, this conversation highlights the impact one person can make in a young person's life.

I NEVER would have been able to do this! Meet Over the Edge Participant, Michael Dunn.

Born with severe hemophilia A, years of internal bleeding caused severe damage to his knee, making everyday activities painful and limiting what he could do. Then, a total knee replacement changed everything.

Today, he's a chiropractor, dance instructor, performer, and community volunteer. This August, he'll celebrate the 10-year anniversary of that life-changing surgery by rappelling 11 stories down the side of the Hotel Blackhawk for Over the Edge.

Why? Because he knows firsthand how powerful a single opportunity can be.

"When Big Brothers Big Sisters connects a young person with a caring mentor, they're opening doors to possibilities that may not yet be visible."

Want to join him?

Register for Over the Edge between now and July 4, and you'll be entered to win $250 toward your fundraising goal, courtesy of GreenState Credit Union. Use code AMERICA250 when you register at OverTheEdgeQC.org

🏈 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 St. Ambrose University Football Team

Last month, players from St. Ambrose University joined our Littles for an afternoon of flag football. While they may have come to play football, they also demonstrated some of the most important lessons of mentoring.

Mentoring isn't about having all the answers—it's about showing up, being present, and helping a young person see what's possible.

There are children across the Quad Cities waiting for a mentor—some have been waiting for years. Ready to learn more? Send us a message or give us a call. We'd love to tell you how you can become a Big.
