PRINCE GEORGE – Big Brothers Big Sisters has turned 40 and is launching a special fundraising campaign. The Big 40 Project is encouraging individuals, businesses and organizations to come together to create a $40,000 legacy fund that will be used to grow programing throughout the community and region.  The project is asking for $40 donations to commemorate 40 years of mentoring.  Individuals who donate to this campaign will be recognized on the 40th Anniversary Legacy Wall set to debut September 2019.  
 
“Over the last 40 years our agency has seen exciting changes and this is because of the ongoing support of our community,” says Tim Bennett, Executive Director.  “Together we can create a legacy for our programs, our children and community.  We need your help to ensure each local child has a network of caring and consistent adults.”

Tax-deductible donations can be made online at bit.ly/bbbspg40, over the phone at 250.563.7410 or in person at the Big Brothers Big Sisters office located at 777 Kinsmen Place.  You can also email karrie.johnston@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca and request a pledge form be emailed to you. 

All the money raised in Prince George stays in Prince George for mentoring programs.
