A Message From Hillary Gentry

Big Brothers Big Sisters has always been an organization that has caught my interest. Finding the right time was difficult with school and work, but in March of 2017 I decided to jump in. This program allows for a very special kind of bond to be formed- it affords adults the opportunity to see the world through the lens of a child and gives children the opportunity to have different experiences in life they may not have had otherwise. Each and every child is special and unique, and they all deserve to be granted the same opportunities and adventures. I love being a Big to my Little Luci. The past 4 and a half years have been so eye opening and rewarding. I remember when I got the call from the match specialist where she stated “I think we have the perfect match for you”. And I have to tell you- she hit the nail right on the head. Luci surely keeps me on my toes with her constant curiosity, creativity, and pure energy. It’s been a blessing to learn and grow with her. I look forward to every opportunity to give back to Big Brothers Big Sisters and support the mission in any way I can. I am constantly advocating for the program and encouraging more folks to become involved. In 2019 I joined the Young Professionals Board and will assume the recruitment chair in 2022. I hope that you can help me in reaching my goal for this year's fundraiser!

In Support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati
We create life-changing friendships by matching adult mentors with  at-risk Tri-State children in need of positive role models.  We partner with parents and guardians, volunteers and others in the community, and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program. Statistics show these Little Brothers and Sisters have higher aspirations, greater confidence, do better in school and avoid risky behaviors.

Ready to Jingle and Mingle!!

Bowl for Kids’ Sake (BFKS), the region’s largest charity bowling event, is a fun-filled day or evening of bowling, games, excitement, and an opportunity for everyone in our community to join together to make a difference in the lives of at-risk youth. Proceeds from this event benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters' one-to-one mentoring programs that serve children in the Tri-State area.


How it works in 5 easy steps:


Step One: Form a 5-6 person Team! Ask friends, family or co-workers to join your TEAM.

Step Two: Click on the "Participate" button to the right!

Step Three: Customize your team page and individual pages. Be sure to share your customized link on social media! Help us raise awareness!

Step Four: Fundraise for BBBS! By simply sending an email or text, posting on Social Media or asking a few friends for support, YOU make a BIG difference.

Step Five: Hit Your Fundraising Goal. We ask each INDIVIDUAL on a team to raise $100 (that's just 10 friends donating $10 toward your efforts) or each TEAM to raise $600 collectively. Once your team goal is reached, you'll join us for a good time and enjoy 2 games of bowling including shoe rental, pizza, drinks, raffles and more! Plus, you'll get a really cool t-shirt customized for this event!

Anyone can do this! The bowling score doesn’t matter, because it’s not about the bowling… it’s about the KIDS!
