      <image:title>About Us - Changing Perspectives. Changing Lives.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since 1977, Big Brothers Big Sisters Services has served more than 20,000 children in Forsyth and Davie counties. Today, more than 400 children are enrolled in our Community-based, Site-based,and Littles in Waiting programs.  For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation’s largest donor- and volunteer-supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 6 through 18, in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Make A Gift - Foundation and Corporate Support.</image:title>
      <image:caption>By giving to Big Brothers Big Sisters, foundations and corporations benefit the community’s most important asset—its children. Major investments from foundations and corporations have enabled our agency to connect with young people in unprecedented ways, so they can start on the path to unlimited potential—and maybe even start a business or foundation of their own some day. To learn more about becoming a corporate or foundation partner, contact Joni DeLellis at joni@bbbsnc.org</image:caption>
