our impact on children in Elkhart County

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:

  • 100% stayed in school
  • 99% avoided deliquency
  • 99% avoided substance abuse
  • 100% felt positive about their relationships with others
