Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon:
1.) BBBSCO is a one-to-one mentoring program; which matches professionally screened
and trained volunteers with youth throughout the Tri County area. The purpose of
BBBSCO is to give children & families the opportunity to form meaningful relationships
with volunteer mentors. Our program provides many match activities for program
participates (ie. — rafting, snowshoeing, camping, fishing, etc.). Many `Gigs" and
"Littles" spend their time taking advantage of the Central Oregon landscape. Our
leadership structure steins from being a part of the largest regional youth development
provider. We are a program of J Bar J Youth Services; which provides executive
leadership, accounting, grant writing and many administrative functions. BBBSCO has
its own Advisory Board and Program Director; who provide support, oversight and guide
the program while working closely with 2 Advisory Boards in surrounding counties.
(see attached Organizational Chart)
2.) Bowl For Kids Sake is a annual fundraising event which helps in providing financial
support to ensure the future quality and growth of the program. Many people get involved
and this is a great way to engage our Bigs and Littles; while supporting a community
event. This event has approximately 425 people attend to support the program.
3.) The event is held the first weekend of May each year. It will take place on May 3rd
this year at Sun Mt. Fun Center.
4.) This activity (BFKS) will recruit community support to provide financial assistance to
the number one mentoring program in the nation. Many individuals, business
professionals and friends of the program rally to collect pledge money to benefit
BBBSCO. This event allows our community to advocate and support BBBSCO; while
raising funding to sustain and expand the program.
5.) The children & families of Deschutes County will directly benefit from this activity
because it will allow our staff to match more youth with a mentor. Our services are free
to children between the ages of 6-15 who want and need a mentor. Most children in the
program are from low-income, single -parent households. Many struggling with school
and have inadequate support systems.
6.) FY 2006-2007 expenditures were $3,155. This year we anticipate approximately
$3,750 in expenditures (see budget attachment). Grant funds will be used as a BFKS
Lucky Strike Sponsorship (see BFKS $2,500 Lucky Strike Sponsorship attachment for
details on how the grant funds will be used). ALL proceeds from 2008 BFKS (approx.
$45,000) will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters in Deschutes County.
