Thanks to those who made Big Brothers Big Sisters event a success

Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to thank the many individuals and organizations that came together to make this year’s holiday party possible for our local youth. Over 250 “Bigs,” “Littles” and their families enjoyed a warm lunch provided by Panda Express.

Our Littles received a gift thanks to the generous donations of volunteers at Cal Poly’s Center for Services in Action as well as Morris and Garritano Insurance. Other individuals in the community donated time and resources to make this afternoon an all-around success.

Thank you, Gordon Mullin, Delta Sigma Pi, Madonna Inn, and Trader Joes! A special BIG thanks to Mr. Guy Crabb, Charles E. Teach Elementary, and their volunteers for hosting our event! Thank you all for your help in making this a memorable day for our “Bigs” and “Littles”!

Tatiana Abundis, Program Director, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County
