#KeepKidsConnected Our mission of creating and supporting one-to-one mentoring relationships to ignite the power and promise of youth does not decrease because of a pandemic. In fact, the stresses that our children are facing in the midst of this national emergency only increase the need for connection with a mentor. Please help make this event as successful as ever! The Daffodil Run for Big Brothers Big Sisters is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we count on the revenue from this event to continue our service to our kids, their families, and their mentors.

Help us reach our fundraising goal of $50,000 for our Bigs and Littles! If you would like to sponsor the Daffodil Run for Big Brothers Big Sisters or have any questions, please email Ann Walsh, Event Director, at: awalsh@chd.org
