our impact on children



Bigs and Littles have fun together - and create memories that last a lifetime. We call it "Little moments … Big magic." Research points to the powerful, positive, lasting impact Bigs have on children's lives. Littles are:

 

  • 52% less likely to
    skip school

  • 46% less likely to
    begin using illegal
    drugs

  • More likely to get
    along with their
    families and peers

Little Moments. Big Magic. Huge Impact.
