Cultivating a Connection During Social Distancing
The team at Bigs has literally transformed our mentoring program to a “temporary” virtual platform to provide the children in northwestern Michigan with the guidance, support and friendship they so desperately need – now more than ever!
Check out some examples of special relationships and how they are connecting during this unprecedented time in our nation.
- Scavenger Hunt
- Making a Care Package
- Baking Cookies via FaceTime
- Sending Videos
- Starting a Book Club
- Playing Games Online
We are so grateful to live in a community where volunteers and donors truly see the value in supporting these one-on-one mentoring relationships and hope you will continue to lean in during this time of uncertainty. Bigsupnorth.com/
Tuesday’s with Tony on Ron Jolly
Tony Anderson is committed to finalizing his mission to complete a marathon in every state in the Country and Washington DC – all to raise funds for Bigs. Tune in to WTCM-AM on Tuesday morning at 7:35 to hear more.
So far Tony has raised $750,000 toward the $1Million goal, and will run his last marathon on Sunday, May 3, 2020 as part of the Flying Pig’s virtual option, right here in Traverse City. Please consider supporting Tony’s journey at Bigsupnorth.com/
Distance Socially, Support Locally
While this is NOT an all-inclusive list of our corporate sponsors, it does reflect many that are significantly affected in the wake of this national pandemic.
