Our Mother’s Day Match Activity was made extra special thanks to the creativity and generosity of Eileen Morrison with ELM Design!

During the activity, each Little had the opportunity to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind vase for the special woman in their life using gold, silver, and bronze leaf techniques. Not only did Eileen provide all of the materials, but she also guided our Bigs and Littles through the process, helping them create meaningful gifts filled with love and appreciation.

The smiles, creativity, and heartfelt conversations shared throughout the activity made for a memorable experience, and we are so grateful for Eileen’s time, talent, and support.

Please join us in thanking Eileen Morrison and ELM Design for helping our matches celebrate the important women who make a difference in their lives.

🍋 A sweet surprise at this year’s Hooked on Fairhope! 🎣

While participating in last weekend’s Hooked on Fairhope Fishing Tournament, the Jeffries family saw the perfect opportunity to do something extra special. On a hot summer day, they opened up The Family Squeeze lemonade stand outside their Fairhope home and served up refreshing lemonade to the community.

But the sweetest part? The kids decided to donate half of their earnings back to Hooked on Fairhope, helping support the mentoring programs of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Gulf Coast and the educational initiatives of FEEF.

We are incredibly grateful for the Jeffries family’s generosity, kindness, and community spirit. Their thoughtful gift is a reminder that you’re never too young to make a BIG impact.

Please join us in thanking the Jeffries family for turning lemonade into something truly meaningful!

Welcome to our newest Community-Based Match!

We are so excited to introduce Big Sister Laila and Little Sister Kaelynn!

These two hit it off right away, discovering they share a love for movies like Freaky Friday and spending time in the water. They also have big hearts—when asked what they would do with $1 million, both said they would help people experiencing housing insecurity.

Their similarities don’t stop there. Kaelynn wants to learn how to crochet, while Laila hopes to learn how to sew, opening the door to plenty of fun adventures and new skills together. And when it comes to favorite foods, Kaelynn loves cheeseburgers and Laila loves French fries—proof that some matches are simply meant to be!

After meeting this afternoon, they headed off to the playground swings, already beginning what we know will be a meaningful friendship.

Please join us in welcoming Laila and Kaelynn to the Big Brothers Big Sisters family! 🎉💚

We are so excited to welcome a new match to the BBBS family! Meet Little Sister Mercy and Big Sister Kate.

The two quickly discovered they already have so much in common. Both have been learning to play chess and are already planning future games together. Mercy shared that she has always wanted a rabbit as a pet, and Kate told her stories about the pet rabbit she used to put on a leash and take to visit friends when she was younger.

They also bonded over their favorite color, teal, and even agreed that if they had $1 million, they would use it to support charities.

We have a feeling these two have so many adventures ahead, and we can’t wait to watch their friendship grow.

Kate, we’re especially grateful that you were introduced to Big Brothers Big Sisters through Bingo at Provision . You never know where one connection can lead — sometimes it leads to a life-changing friendship. ✨
