BBBS awarded funding
from Greenville & Sidney Rotary Clubs
The Greenville & Sidney Rotary Clubs recently made a donation
to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County. This
donation that was given by the Greenville Rotary was given as
part of their annual Rotary Gives Back Luncheon held on June 30th at
the Brick Room of the Brethren Retirement Community. “The continued
support we receive from the two county Rotary clubs 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 & Sidney Rotary,
matches in our two county service area continue to grow and
influence “at risk” children in a positive way.
