Big Brothers Big Sisters Month

Celebrate Big Brothers Big Sisters Month with us!

This September, we invite local businesses to join us in recognizing Big Brothers Big Sisters Month. Together, let’s celebrate mentorship and raise awareness about the critical need for mentors in Oxford County. We are 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 our celebrations!  We have two fabulous, and fun campaigns, that we want you to participate in!

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 own unique touch of teal to the display! Check out these 2023 Turn The Town Teal participants.

MIRROR MIRROR

Support BBBSOC by displaying our MIRROR MIRROR decals on your windows, mirrors, doors, or any other visible spots during the month of September (and beyond!). As a Mirror Mirror partner, you’ll help us raise awareness about the crucial role of mentoring and assist in recruiting volunteer mentors for the young people on our waitlist by showcasing that “You’re The One We’ve Been Looking For!” 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!

Complete the form below to reserve your Turn The Town Teal or MIRROR MIRROR kit (or both) while quantities last. We will deliver the kits to you in August, to give you time to decorate and prepare for September to celebrate Big Brothers Big Sisters Month with us!  There is no cost to register for our kits, and no obligations, other than to help us Turn The Town Teal with your decorating skills, and showcase that You’re The One We’ve Been Waiting For – Become A Mentor Today!

*Registrations will close Friday, August 9, 2024. Quantities are limited so register early to confirm your participation!*
