Congratulations to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sedgwick County, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary today. Since it started here in 1969, BBBS has helped more than 25,000 local kids, and it now matches more than 2,000 kids each year with caring mentors. Those pairings make a big difference in the lives of kids, both now and in the future. According to a study by Harris Interactive, BBBS alumni are much more likely than other kids to receive a four-year college degree, to be engaged in their communities, and to be very satisfied with their relationships with friends and with life. Keep up the great work.

It’s a good program. I volunteered for it when I lived in Texas, but the Air Force kept sending me on Temporary Duty every time I got a ‘little brother’, so I didn’t get to participate.
“Regular” admits –
“…the Air Force kept sending me on Temporary Duty every time I got a ‘little brother.’”
Part of their Save the Children campaign, no doubt.
