BBBS receives donation from Mercer Savings Bank
Mercer Savings Bank recently made a donation to Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Shelby & Darke County. The donation consisted of
generous donations on behalf of the bank’s employees during their
Mission Giving Campaign. “The continued support we receive from
Mercer Savings Bank 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,” stated Jennifer Bruns, Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County’s Executive Director.
Youth mentoring programs, like Big Brothers Big Sisters, create and
support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and
promise of youth. By providing support, enriching activities,
positive role models, and encouraging educational success, children
enrolled are more likely to achieve success in life and more prepared
for adulthood. The goal is to teach these children, through their
relationship with their mentor, skills in managing life and steer them
toward a healthy and productive future.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a non-profit United Way partner
agency. If you would like to become an event sponsor, donor,
volunteer, or learn more about how you can defend the potential of a
child in need, contact our local agency at 937-492-7611, 937-547-9622,
