I have been a big brother for 10 years and this is my second little I have been involved with. It has been a really good, humbling experience for me and I feel my little's have benifited well from our friendships and experiences together as well. Sometimes a young adult just needs someone to talk to and share things with. It may not seem very important sometimes but it may mean a whole lot to the young adult. I also think getting together with my little has helped me too and has made me realize that sometimes it's the very smallest things that mean so much and has helped me appreciate that. Big Brothers is a lot of fun and creates many opportunities that may be otherwise passed by or not even thought of.
i have served on the board of this organization for several years. I am humbled by the difference this agency has made in the county. Bowl for Kids Sake is my favorite event as we are able to see the community come together and at the same time see some of the \youth that we serve.
I have truly enjoyed being a part of this organization for the past several years. I started in the Local Hero Program at a local elementary school and then became a board member and then a Big Sister. I know that I am helping the child I am mentoring. We have both grown through our relationship over the past 3 years and I look forward to being a part of her life for the next 8 years of our journey and hopefully beyond. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cass County touches the lives of so many in our community. I believe that is evident in our ability to raise record amounts of money to support our agency year after year. The community has really embraced our organization and we are so grateful for everyone's continued support especially through the difficult economic times in recent years. The children of this community would not be the same without our chapter of BBBS.
I have been associated with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cass County since the early 1990's both as a Board Member and as a Big Brother. Thanks to the dedication of our staff, volunteers(both in the field and my fellow Board members), and the community, BBBS of Cass County continues to provide much needed mentoring services to at-risk children in Cass County both through traditional matches and school programs when such is needed more than ever. We have survived hard economic times thanks to those mentioned above when all other local BBBS agencies have sadly had to close.
We remain focused on "one child at a time" and the payoff is when an adult comes back and tells us that he or she was a "Little" here and how their life was positively impacted. Small Big Brothers Big Sisters Agencies must not be allowed to disappear!

This organization touches the lives of so many. I truly believe our Bowl For Kids Sake benefits the participants as much as the organization. I see bonding among groups, schools, co-workers, and youth. I truly believe the amount a "big" touches the child's life is unmeasurable.
I know that many community memebers would enjoy being part of this organization in any capacity.
I have been a board member with BBBS Cass Co for several years and have really enjoyed the experience. Bowl for Kids Sake is my favorite community event. It's amusing how the communtiy pulls together every year to support BBBS with BFKS and other events through out the year. This year a little came to BFKS to tell his story on how BBBS had changed his life. It means alot to hear these stories and how the program really works!
In working in the local school corporation for over 15 years, I have seen the impact of Big Brothers/Big Sisters in our schools and with our students. When I had the opportunity to join the board this year, I was honored. I worked the annual Bowl for Kids Sake, which was great. I was extremely impressed by the support of the community and money raised. The organization does an excellent job in assisting the youth of Cass County. A lot of people count on BBBS! Chris and her staff are great. I look forward to continue to work for such a great organization and community.
I am currently a board member for Big Brothers Big Sisters and have served for the past four months. Although my time associated with this organization has been short it has been easy to jump right in with as much support I can offer. I say that because it is such a great organization with great people volunteering. I recently had the pleasure to work at one of their largest fund raisers of the year bowl for kids' sake and the response from that event for BBBS was unbelievable! It was very obvious that the Logansport community supports BBBS. Keep up the good work!!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cass County has been a huge part of my life for the past 7 years. I started volunteering as a Big Sister in 2004 while I was still in college. I've moved around and had different littles in the past 7 years, but have always stayed close to BBBS. I now work at BBBS of Cass County as the Program Coordinator. I also have 2 little sisters in the community based program and a boy I meet with through the Local Hero Program. To say that 1 person can make a difference in the life of a child is an understatement. Mentoring has mad a huge difference in my life as well. Working here is very rewarding and I'm grateful we have a community that gives us so much support.
As the Director of this organization, I can say first hand what a difference we make in the community. We have been serving children in Cass County for 25 years! We are an organization that cares a great deal about the youth and in helping them grow into the wonderful adults we know they can be. Our board and staff work very hard to secure funds so we can continue to grow the agency.
I was matched with a little through the Big Brother Big Sister of Cass County for 11 years. Brittany and I were a fantastic match and could not have been supported better by this organization. The staff of BBBS of Cass County went above and beyond providing us with many affortable activities to make our match easy to manage!
Brittany is doing very well now and even though our match is closed...we will remain lifelong friends.
I have gotten to know the organization through various channels. The service provided to our community is huge and there is a lot of dedicated and wonderful people in our community, who support this organization in one way or another; either by participating in fundraisers or being a big brother or sister to a child. Go Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Cass County!!!
I have watch BBBS of Cass County serve the children of our community for the past 5 years. I served on the board for 3 years and watch this group rise above the mean for fundraising to meet the needs of the children in our community. I also have watch high school students step into roles that made an impact in young children. Chris the director has a passion to see lives changed and childrens needs met to not only impact them but their entire family.
