Rotary donates to BBBS After School Program
The Greenville Rotary recently made a donation to Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Shelby and Darke County. This donation was given as
part of their annual Rotary Gives Back Luncheon held on June 24th at
the Brick Room of the Brethren Retirement Community and will be used
specifically for the Darke County after school program at Woodland
Heights Elementary school. “The continued support we receive from the
Greenville Rotary is appreciated beyond words. With this donation we
will be able to continue to serve the children in need of a mentor in
the Darke County Community.” reports Jennifer Bruns Big Brothers Big
Sisters Executive Director.
Mentoring programs provide support, activities, education, and most
importantly, a mentor for children who may be considered at-risk of an
abusive environment. The children involved in this program have
the opportunity to engage in fun, social and academic enrichment
activities with the interaction of their mentor. It is our goal
to teach these children, through their relationship with their mentor,
skills in managing life in a high-risk environment.
Thanks to generous donations from the Greenville Rotary, matches in
Darke County area continue to grow and influence “at risk” children in
a positive way.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a nonprofit

is meant to guide each child towards becoming a confident, competent,
