We kicked off summer with one of our favorite events of the year- Match Appreciation! 💚
This special event gives us the opportunity to celebrate what makes BBBSBG so impactful: our incredible Matches. Every day, our Bigs and Littles build meaningful connections, create lasting memories, and inspire one another in ways that truly change lives.
We are so grateful for each and every Match and for the amazing sponsors and community partners who help make events like this possible. Your support allows us to celebrate the relationships at the heart of our mission and continue creating brighter futures for local youth.

✨ Thank you for being part of the BBBSBG family! and

Congratulations to our graduating seniors across Central Kentucky! 🎓💚 The impact of a mentor is BIG, and this year BBBSBG Littles achieved a 100% graduation rate!

When young people have someone in their corner, incredible things happen:
✨ Over 70% of students report improved grades after being paired with a mentor
✨ Mentored youth are significantly less likely to engage in violent behavior or substance abuse
✨ Up to 86% of former participants say the lessons learned from their mentor continued to guide them into adulthood

Today we celebrate not only our graduates, but the Bigs, families, and supporters who helped make these milestones possible. The future is bright!
