BigBrothersBigSisters_2025Conference

Andy,

In June, over 2,000 supporters gathered for our 2025 National Conference and witnessed something truly special. When our Bigs and Littles of the Year shared their stories on stage, the impact was undeniable. These moments reminded us why we show up: because every young person deserves someone who believes in them.

These are the stories that remind us why we do this work.

Big Briana & Little Makia – Northeast Indiana

When Makia lost her mom, her world changed overnight. But her Big Sister Briana didn't just show up when things were easy—she stayed through the hard parts too. Today, Makia is thriving. She's planning to become a nurse and speaks about her future with the confidence that comes from knowing someone will always show up for her.

Big Norm & Little Tyjon – Greater Cincinnati

They call themselves "The Grand Brothers." Their bond is built on trust, growth, and true connection. Tyjon, now a young adult, says Norm helped him open up, find his voice, and believe in what's possible. "He’ll give you the shirt off of his back," Tyjon said. "I think Norm has just really taught me to be a man."
