Big Brothers Big Sisters Specialty License Plate
Great News! Earlier this year Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida, Inc. was successful in getting the Florida Legislature to approve a new Big Brothers Big Sisters Specialty License Plate. We are working hard, to pre-sell 1000 of these vouchers throughout Florida, which will trigger the actual production of these new license plates here in our state. Our agency goal is to pre-sell 35-50 vouchers. By purchasing a voucher you help us spread the word about Big Brothers Big Sisters wherever you drive. All you need to do is visit your local county tax collector office, and take along a copy of the voucher. Be sure to SAVE the voucher they give you, as you’ll need it to get your actual license plate once they go into production (i.e., once We pre-sell 1000 of these vouchers). Thank you in advance for your support. Once your plates are received and placed, you’ll be helping our children by promote mentoring in our communities. By purchasing...

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Florida’s Miracle on 13th St.
How does one say thank you to a community that has given so much? To say thank you doesn’t come close to expressing what’s truly in our hearts. Christmas Countdown – Tuesday, November 29, 2011, contributions for the annual Big Brothers Big Sisters Christmas party began to commence. Eric Jewell from KTK 98.5 radio station donated the first gifts collected by the radio station for our toy drive. Thank you Eric and KTK 98.5 for your efforts and contribution to the children in our program; we are extremely grateful! Tuesday night, staff soon realized that there was a massive shortage of gifts. In an organization that services over 300 kids, there were only 40 toys available to distribute. The daunting realization that some children would potentially go without a Christmas gift caused some contemplation of cancelling the Christmas party altogether, considering it was that Friday, December 2nd. Despite some doubt that we could obtain so many toys in so little time, BBBS...
Match Spotlight: Patrick & Andrew
Every day we meet new people having no idea the role they will play in our lives. This is much like what happens when a Big is matched with a Little, you never really know the end outcome. Patrick and Andrew were reached about four years ago. Their match has technically closed due to Patrick relocating for Grad school, but that has done little to halt their friendship. “Andrew and I plan on staying friends for life. “ Patrick says he initially wanted to become a Big because of his own experience as a child of divorce, “I was fortunate that my mother met a wonderful man, who became an amazing step-father and friend to me. So many children, however, aren’t presented with opportunities and advantages that I had myself.” Though Patrick and Andrew have done many activities together, “the most memorable times have been talking to him mano a mano, about life, and the world, and people, and trying to...
