Big Brothers Big Sisters of The Bridge Newsroom

First year students at Wilkes University will be holding the annual Buddy For A Day Events on Monday, June 29^th and Monday July 13^th, from 9:30AM to 11:30AM on campus at Wilkes U Recreation Building (the old Call Center) on the corner of Main and South Street. The first year students will have a variety of games and activities planned for the kids. 

A good turnout is crucial. In the past we have been asked why if we have so many kids waiting, we don’t have more kids at the Buddy For A Day Events. That is a good question. Hopefully it won’t be a question we are asked this time around! Some of the college participants even end up becoming mentors in the program. Who knows, this event might end with a match for a waiting list child.  

The event is free and open to all Big Brothers Big Sisters participants Only, but you need to RSVP to your caseworker for the June event by June 24th and the July event by July 8^th @ 824-8756.
