Twin Cities Move




Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities Has A Big Move
Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities has great news. The chapter is moving from the old building to much better location across the river. BBBS Twin Cities will finally get its own office building. This is going to be very beneficial for the program because it will give them more space to help more children and teens. It will also allow the chapter to add a new summer program. The move will be historic because BBBS Twin Cities has not had their own space since the St. Paul-Minneapolis merger twenty years ago. BBBS Twin Cities will be closer to the neighborhoods where the majority of its teens and children live. This was a group effort with real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield. The legal team from Ballard Spahr even gave the chapter pro bono help. There will be an estimated savings of $500,000 over five years.

NE Wisconsin in need of volunteers

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.
