Gearing Up for Another Bowl for Kids' Sake


It's time for our biggest and most important fundraising event of the year!  Last year's Bowl for Kids' Sake event raised over $60,000 for program services.  Proceeds from events like this enable us to recruit more volunteers and serve more children in our community.

So get your teams started!  Click here for more information on how to get involved.


Fallon Community Health Plan (FCHP) Awards $4,750 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampden County

This new funding supports the expansion of BBBSHC's community-based mentoring program, which provides educational and recreational opportunities for area youth through one-to-one mentoring relationships.  According to FCHP Senior Director of Government and Community Relations, Kate McEvoy-Zdonczyk, "The mentoring program offered by BBBSHC not only provides children with positive adult role models, but also the tools and support they need to make healthy choices and good decisions.  At FCHP, we're looking forward to seeing the children in today's mentoring program grow up to be responsible citizens who pass on what they've learned through their relations to the next generation."
 
Thank you so much for your support!
