A message from curt macKenzie:

Ranked 5 of 7 fundraisers - $176 raised by 1 supporter

Hi, Guys... you know Devon is all grown up now- graduated from St John's, got a downtown job, bought a house... so I am not quite his "Big Brother" anymore- but I still LOVE BBBS, am on the Board, actively supporting their mission- especially the goal to get kids to finish high school. An easy way to help is a dollar by dollar "Big Tackles with Harrison Smith" fund raiser. I don't watch the games but each time Harrison does something I give BBBS a buck. Want to join in the Fun? THANKS!

BIG Tackles is Back Again!

I’m thrilled to announce the return of my BIG TACKLES campaign, which supports area youth and Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities.

Together with your pledge, every tackle I make during the 2020 season provides financial support to help kids facing adversity reach their potential. Last year, we raised over $72,000 – and I’m expecting 2020 to be an even BIGGER year on and off the field!

WHO YOU WILL HELP

Our mission is urgent. In 2019, Big Brothers Big Sisters sharpened our focus to better meet the needs of our community. Nearly 90% of the kids we serve come from low income households, and three-quarters are from non-two-parent households. Minnesota has one of the largest equity and opportunity gaps in the United States for youth of color.

Through mentoring and other youth programs, we continue to tackle the societal issues that limit the potential in tens of thousands of youth in our five-county area. Nearly all of the youth enrolled in BBBS in 2019 improved or maintained their grades and 89% of the high school seniors graduated on time.

But the waiting list for a mentor is long, especially for Little Brothers. Your support of Big Tackles will help Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities match more youth and help them on the path to a life-changing friendship.
