This September, we invite local businesses to join us in recognizing Big Brothers Big Sisters Month. Together, we will celebrate mentorship and raise awareness about the critical need for mentors in Oxford County.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oxford County (BBBSOC) is witnessing an unprecedented surge in youth enrollment in our programs and a growing number of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) among young people. Statistics underscore the significant impact that one additional supportive developmental relationship can have on a child’s life. Here is how you can join us in celebrating!
TURN THE TOWN TEAL
We are inviting local businesses to register for a Turn The Town Teal kit, which includes teal-coloured décor to help raise awareness for BBBS Month and highlight our need for mentors! Whether you display it in your front window, office entrance, lunchroom, or waiting room, we look forward to seeing your creativity and a wave of teal across Oxford County. The kit will also contain information to display in your business and share with your employees, aiding our volunteer recruitment efforts. We encourage you to expand and personalize your décor, adding your unique touch of teal to the display!
MIRROR MIRROR
Support BBBSOC by displaying our MIRROR MIRROR decals on your windows, mirrors, doors, or any other visible spots during September (and beyond). As a Mirror Mirror partner, you will help us raise awareness about the crucial role of mentoring and assist in recruiting volunteer mentors for the children on our waitlist by showcasing that “You’re The One We’ve Been Waiting For – Become A Mentor Today!” In addition to the decals, we will provide FAQ sheets and brochures to distribute to potential volunteers. Here are the decals, and examples of how MIRROR MIRROR can be displayed in your business!
Visit oxford.bigbrothersbigsisters.ca/event/bbbsmonth2024/ to register for the kits and BBBSOC will deliver the items to you in August, to decorate for September. There is no cost to register and no obligations, we simply need the community’s support in raising awareness and celebrating with us! Registrations will close on Friday, August 9th.
