Meet our newest #GameChanger, Osa Odighizuwa, Defensive Tackle for the Dallas Cowboys and proud Alumni Little! Osa was inducted into the BBBSA Alumni Hall of Fame this year, showcasing his commitment to giving back and making a difference. Osa recently hosted a football camp in Oregon with over 100 kids from his home agency, Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest. We’re excited to have him on board as he inspires the next generation of Littles! "Mentorship is the bridge that connects experience with ambition, transforming potential into achievement and guiding individuals toward their fullest capabilities. If you remove the mentorship I received as a Little, my life would look a lot different today." #BeBig #BiggerTogether

Leading for social good by creating opportunities for youth equity and empowerment at Big Brothers Big Sisters and a place for women in leadership with Chief.
Today we lifted our lights to talk about the Center for Effective Philanthropy survey results citing burnout as the biggest concern for nonprofit leaders, and the magic antidote called mentorship that will help us shine the path ahead. We at Big Brothers Big Sisters of America know the power of mentorship is profound, leading to real feelings of connection, belonging and confidence for the mentor and the mentee. Thanks OneCause and #Raise2024 for lifting this important conversation.
Deborah Barge, CFRE, Chief Development Officer for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, helped us kick off #Raise2024 Day 2 by sharing captivating words around the mental health of fundraisers. “Nonprofits will solve the largest problems in the world together.” Thank you, Deb, for inspiring #FearlessFundraisers! #NonprofitConference #Nonprofit #BigBrothersBigSisters

#Paralympic champion Hunter Woodhall's victory message: "Wyatt Woodhall, this one is for you." A touching tribute to his late uncle, whose legacy of putting others first, building people up, and believing in their potential embodies the spirit of #mentorship that we celebrate at Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Hunter's words remind us of the impact one person can have: "There is no chance me or anyone in our family would be where they are today without the love and sacrifices that he has given." #BiggerTogether #Inspiration #Sports

From the court to the community: Meet our newest #GameChanger, Michael McCullough! As Executive VP and Chief Marketing Officer of The Miami HEAT, Michael knows a thing or two about teamwork. But his most valuable assists happen off the court as a Big Brother! Swipe to see Michael with his first Little, Jay, and his current Little, David. "The thing that I find most amazing about mentorship is the realization that, while our mentees are clearly the focus of these programs and can receive guidance and direction that can last them a lifetime, it is we, as mentors, who oftentimes benefit from these relationships as much as our mentees!" #BeBig #BiggerTogether
