Greetings!
 In celebration of National Volunteer Week, we honor our hundreds of volunteer mentors, Board Members, business partners and supporters who generously donate their time towards improving the lives of children in Orange County. Because of our mentors, and volunteers that lend a hand at our events, our children learn to be strong and have hope for a brighter future. Thank you so much for taking the time to care and give selflessly. |

Thank You for Bowling for Kids' Sake!
Because of a generous outpouring of support from the community, businesses, and volunteers, our biggest fundraiser of the year brought in over $28,000 to support our mentoring programs! May your heart glow knowing that you helped us make a difference.
A very special thanks to Big Brother Bob Demarco and Big Sister Torry DeMarco for taking fantastic photos of the event. You can see them here on our Facebook page, and if you have any to add, please upload them and share with us!

District Manager Keven S. Baughman presents Executive Director Nancy Kosloski with a check | Stewart's Shops Donation
This past holiday season, Stewart's Shops ran a program in their stores called "Stewart's Holiday Match" where they collected donations from customers from Thanksgiving until Christmas and matched those donations to support local organizations
This year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County received $3,000 thanks to Stewart's customers and their generous contributions and Stewart's dedicated shop partners who worked diligently go collect the funds.
We thank both Stewart's Shops and their customers for their generosity this year.
