Little Change for BIG Change
Little Change for BIG Change is a fundraising campaign that brings the whole community together to participate in an initiative to spread awareness and raise much-needed money for our organization.
We are hoping that your business would like to join our Little Change for BIG Change fundraising campaign. This fundraiser is all about how your business can raise a little bit of change to create BIG change in the youth of CW and much-needed awareness for BBBSCW. We will supply your business with a donation box and paper icons to present to your customers. Each customer will be asked to make a $2, $5, $10, donation of their choice or add any spare change to the donation box to fund the crucial youth programs ran at Big Brothers Big Sisters. This initiative is put on to show that the Little Change given by the community can create BIG Change in a child’s life. To learn more about this campaign you can read our Ask Letter which includes all the information about this initiative.
If you and your business would like to be a part of this campaign contact us.
