A MESSAGE FROM OUR CAMPAIGN LEADERSHIP
"
As Chair of the Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties, I am excited to announce that we are publicly launching The Big Move Capital Campaign. Our overall campaign goal is $750,000 to offset the purchase and renovation of our new office. Many supporters have already pledged to help us reach the majority of this goal. The community-wide phase goal of our campaign is $50,000.
We need YOUR help! Please consider making a donation today--every dollar donated by March 31st up to $25,000 will be MATCHED!
Our Littles, Families, and team of volunteers and staff are counting on us! Please donate today!

This strategic move from our very modest office on Landis Avenue in Vineland to a more centralized and modern office building with upgraded technology in Carll’s Corner will help prepare us for many more years of serving the youth of our community. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties reminds me of one of Aesop’s fables, The Tortoise and the Hare, consistently and persistently, with quality and determination, taking the necessary steps on the path to successfully mentor the children in need who live within our community. This organization has modeled the kind of behavior that we want to instill in our children.

We never dreamed of this type of success when we first began at our family’s kitchen table. BBBS’s unique one-to-one mentoring program has a proven track record for positive impact, and it’s the wisest investment you can make on behalf of our youth!

I don’t think there is any doubt that Big Brothers Big Sisters has a positive impact on the Littles, but I was not expecting the impact it has also had on me as a Big. It has been truly inspiring watching my Little grow, try new things and discover new interests. It’s encouraged me to put that same energy into my life and seek out new experiences. Our time together has been such a source of joy in my life and I am so proud of the young man he has become.
