2002 Benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas

Since 1971, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas has been creating magic in people's lives. BBBS works to help boys and girls in our area achieve their potential through positive adult relationships. A recent study conducted by a national research firm found tat children in the program are less likely to start using drugs, start drinking, act violently or skip school and more likely to graduate from high school. BBBS also provides additional services such as case management, educational services, scholarship incentives and skill building workshops for those children in need. By giving of their time, volunteers for BBBS can help ensure a brighter, happier and more secure future for the children of Central Texas.
