The Daisy Fund
Big Sister Karen and Little Sister Daisy are celebrating over 30 years of their friendship that started with Big Brothers Big Sisters! In honor of the wonderful memories they share from their time as Big and Little, Karen has made a generous donation to provide meaningful memories for Bigs and Littles throughout the region.
The Daisy Fund exists to provide unique one-to-one opportunities for matches that otherwise wouldn’t be possible. These opportunities should appeal to the interests and/or aspirations of a Little. If you and your Little have ever wanted to do something Big, but the cost of the activity or travel has been a barrier, consider applying for a grant from The Daisy Fund!
