Big Brothers Big Sisters has been a one-to-one mentoring organization for 116 years. Since March, they have creatively served 136,000 Littles across the country in new and innovative ways due to social distancing. Matches stayed connected—socially and emotionally—and new matches were paired together whenever possible. There is truly a need, and direct benefit, in what the Federated Challenge does. Thank you for your continued commitment, passion, and generosity!
