I'm running the New York City Marathon to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC.

I've been a Big Brother volunteer mentor since 2017, mentoring my "Little," Jacky, who just graduated high school and is on his way to Hunter College in NYC. As part of the program, we have weekly catch-up calls and, before college, we spent about 5-8 hours per month doing one-on-one in-person activities. Jacky is the first in his family to enroll in college, and I couldn't be more proud of him. My small role in mentoring Jacky wouldn't have been possible without BBBS. They provide a wealth of resources, including monthly check-ins, problem-solving advice, connections to job opportunities, scholarships, and more. Your donation will go directly to the program to help more kids like Jacky get connected to mentors.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for anything you can provide.

If anyone is interested in becoming a BBBS mentor, I'm always happy to talk about my experience, expectations, time commitment, and more. Just give me a shout!
