Jamie's BBBS Fundraiser

When I was 6, I lost my dad, and everything changed. I needed a steady presence in my life and Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) provided it by matching me with Caroline. Her commitment went beyond simple fun; she was a steady presence for me and my whole family during life's most difficult moments. Her love and guidance had a tremendous impact on my life and played a critical role in helping me become the person I am today. I am grateful beyond words.

This is why this organization is so close to my heart. Mentorship creates the confidence and hope that strengthens children, families, and communities. I’m raising funds because I believe all young people deserve that chance—to be supported and seen for the light they already carry.

Your support directly funds this critical work:

• Expanding Access: We are reaching the Fort Smith Metro area and doubling our service counties.

• Long-Term Support: We are growing our Big Futures program to mentor young adults up to age 25, ensuring the belief sparked in childhood continues into adulthood.

Your gift helps create and support life-changing matches, just like mine.
