In our lives, each of us shared an important connection with someone who broadened our horizons and brought a little magic into our lives.
It was the person who taught you to throw that perfect spiral, or sat in the front row to cheer you on, even when it was embarrassing. These are the little moments that Big Brothers and Big Sisters experience every day.
These real life stories are just a few of the ways Big Brothers Big Sisters is changing lives and communities forever.
Big Brother Nolan & Little Brother Corey
Nolan and Corey began their match on November 18th 2000. After being matched for Almost 7 years, the match graduated from our program on July 2nd, 2007, Corey’s 18th birthday. Nolan, who had a Big Brother when he was a child, explained that he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be a Big Brother as well.
Corey and Nolan have become close friends throughout their 7 year stint, spending lots of time together and hanging out as often as they could. After all of the activities this pair has enjoyed together, they still say that their favorite things to do together are going out to lunch or going to a movie. Nolan said the best part of having a little brother is “having an excuse to goof off”. Most recently Corey has decided to join the Army; the decision as Nolan described it has left him very proud.
 It’s matches like this that confirm the strong bond and the impact having a big brother or a little brother has on an individual. When asked if Nolan and Corey plan on keeping in touch even though they are no longer officially matched Nolan simply said “Definitely”.
