Save the Date! Join us for our Real Men Mentor net Save the Date! Join us for our Real Men Mentor networking event on Tuesday, November 30th at the Raccoon Motel in Downtown Davenport for pizza, drinks, and great conversation! More than two-thirds of children waiting for a mentor are boys requesting a positive, caring male role model. Studies show that the lack of a male figure in a boy's life increases the likelihood of performing poorly in school or getting involved in crime. Every boy is born with the potential to achieve great things. Our mentors ignite, inspire, and defend that potential. To RSVP click the link in our bio. #RealMenMentor #BBBSMV

Check out another one of our new matches- off to a Check out another one of our new matches- off to a "running start"- quite literally! Big Brother Kyle and Little Brother Kamryn hit it off right away over their mutual love of sports and their competitive natures. The competition started early, as they quickly discovered that they both consider themselves to be fast runners. Of course they had to see who was faster, so they kicked off their match with a race through the BBBS parking lot! Each one held the lead at various points in the race, but it ended in a photo finish and we had to call it a TIE! There is talk of a re-match, and we see many more races in their future! Welcome to the BBBS team, Kyle and Kamryn!
It’s been over a month since our matches have be It’s been over a month since our matches have been able to meet in person, and our Bigs have a special message of encouragement and hope to share with our Littles! 💚 #KeepKidsConnected
