Big Brothers Big Sisters receives 'Women of Purpose' Grant

Garden City, KS - Big Brothers Big Sisters has received a $5,000 grant from the Women of Purpose Fund.  The grant was awarded on April 10, at the organization's annual luncheon.  The Women of Purpose Fund, which was founded in 2009 as part of the Western Kansas Community Foundation, makes donations to local programs that center themselves around women's needs.  The focus this year was "Inspiring Female Potential through Mentorship."

We are grateful for this donation from the Women of Purpose Fund.  We will use this money specifically for what it was originally assigned.

The Northeast Wisconsin chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters is in need of volunteers, and NBC26 provided a nearly three minute segment to promote the organization.  The package featured 'Big' Deb Gussert and 'Little' Isabelle Charlier, who will be receiving the award for "Match of the Year" later this month.  Following the package, the anchor explained that more than 100 children are on a wait list for mentors.   In addition, a new mentorship organization was created for middle school and high school students because 6,000 students are in danger of not graduating.   The article read as if it were a press release from us, which was a great form of earned media to promote the organization.
