After the awards presentation, guests were treated to a moving speech by Leah Campbell, the mother of Little Brother Chris. The evening concluded as Leah thanked Chris’ Big Brother Tom for helping Chris grow into the caring, considerate young adult he is today. After all, that’s what mentoring is all about – teaching by example the importance of giving and giving back and creating possibilities for our community’s youth.
Big Brothers would like to thank your sponsors, donors and friends for contributing to the foundation of our cause. You have truly started something.
