Big Brothers Big Sisters
Fun Day at Shelby County YMCA 

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County had an outing at the Shelby County YMCA on April 13. The free event was open to all Big’s and Little’s in the Shelby and Darke County area. The YMCA teamed up with Big Brother’s and Big Sister’s and allowed the use of their facilities. 

Around 40 adults and kids enrolled in the program came to the event and each child was able to eat pizza, play games, swim and spend time with their Big Brother or Big Sister. “We were thrilled when the YMCA offered the use of their facility for our event,” Jennifer Bruns, Executive Director stated.  We search for activities in which the children in our program can socialize with other kids, be active and have a fun safe day out with their volunteer Big.” 

Big Brothers Big Sisters also has another event coming up for their program. On Saturday, April 27 2013 Big Brothers Big Sisters will be having a booth at the Shelby County YMCA Healthy Kids Day event that the YMCA hosts.
