Gratitude Grows Through Mentorship

On Thanksgiving, we at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee reflect on the extraordinary community that makes our mission possible. Our hearts are full of gratitude for each member of our BIG family:

To the Littles: Your courage, curiosity, and willingness to embrace new experiences inspire us daily. Thank you for reminding us all what it means to see the world with fresh eyes and an open heart.

To The Bigs: Thank you for giving the precious gifts of time, patience, and guidance. The hours you spend with your Little create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond your outings together. Your commitment to showing up consistently demonstrates what it means to truly care.

To the Donors and Supporters: Your generosity fuels every match, every moment, and every milestone. Whether you’ve given financially, volunteered at events, or championed our cause in the community, you’ve helped defend the potential of youth throughout Middle Tennessee.

This Thanksgiving, we celebrate the connections that make us stronger together. The mentoring relationships fostered today create a more compassionate and understanding community for tomorrow.
 
From all of us at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee, we wish you a Thanksgiving filled with joy, connection, and gratitude.

Mentorship Matters.

Thank you for creating Lifelong Impact

Another Big Breakfast in the books! The powerful stories shared by Littles, Bigs, parents and community leaders demonstrated why mentorship truly matters in our community. While we are grateful for the tremendous support shown, the work to ignite the potential of youth continues. If you weren’t able to make a gift during the event, there’s still time to make a difference in a child’s life. Every contribution helps us create and support more life-changing mentoring relationships.
