Sponsor-A-Match
What is the Sponsor-A-Match campaign? It is a fundraiser designed for business or individuals to provide financial support to BBBS by donating the program cost to support a match for one year.
For a yearly donation of $1,000, a donor becomes the sponsor of one of our matches. This is our cost to bring a match together and keep it going for a year. Initially, the $1,000 sponsorship covers the expense of training a volunteer, conducting police, reference and driving records checks and conducting home assessments with both the Big and Little. In the following years, a $1,000 sponsorship underwrites the cost of having a professional match support specialist supervise the match and provide continued support and guidance. The agency also arranges activities to help foster this mentoring experience and keep the match active for years.
In the past, we have been contacted by companies wanting to sponsor a family for the holidays. If your company participates in these types of efforts, please consider proposing that your company could sponsor one or more of our matches. Perhaps your company would be interested in sponsoring your match, a volunteer they know personally and a child who has been blessed with the gift of friendship.
If you or your company is interested in more information, contact Mike Parks at (937) 220-6858.
