Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Great Lakes Bay Region provides life-changing mentoring relationships to children in Saginaw, Bay, Midland and Isabella Counties. The program matches children who live in a single-parent household, or in poverty, one-to-one with positive adult role models who helps them try new things, gain new perspectives and dream big. Perceptions selected Big Brothers Big Sisters as its 2013 non-profit designee as it is an excellent resource for children of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgender parents, or for children who identify as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgender, who seek a supportive adult role model. Perceptions Saginaw Valley is proud to recognize and partner with Brothers Big Sisters of the Great Lakes Bay Region by contributing to it 50% of the evening’s net profits in an effort to support the agency’s “1,000 Starts With One” campaign- an effort to match 1,000 children in the region with positive adult role models.
