Philanthropy Day is November 15th, but GiftWorks would like to honor and highlight a nonprofit each weekday in November! There are not enough days in November to thank every nonprofit in the world doing great things, but we are happy to bring to you one nonprofit each weekday in November, that is making a difference!
Today, let's meet:
Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County
Vision:
All children achieve success in life.
Mission:
Provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
Accountability:
We partner with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community and holdourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving:
Higher aspirations, greater confidence and better relationships
Avoidance of risky behaviors
Educational success
Since 1995, we have created more than 1,400 mentor relationships. In 2011 we served over 350 children in San Luis Obispo County.
Philanthropy Day is an opportunity to recognize and pay tribute to the contributions individuals and organizations give to charitable organizations around the world. We are able to serve others due to the generosity of people that care enough to give time and money to better our world.
Thank you.
