Sherlyn and Adelaide
We'd like to introduce you to Big, Adelaide, and Little, Sherlyn! They are matched in our College of the Holy Cross SPUD program. They love working on their basketball trick shots, playing board games, and doing crafts. Sherlyn is so excited to be matched in the program. She missed Adelaide over Thanksgiving break so she decided to draw her Big an awesome picture! How sweet?!

November Open House Recap
|
On November 17th, we invited friends and supporters to join us for our first Open House at the new office space in Worcester. We moved into the new office in May 2022 and have been busy making the space beautiful and functional for not only our team but for Bigs, Littles, Board Members, and all!
Former CEO, Ben Ticho, and former Interim CEO, Moe Boisvert, joined us for a discussion on BBBS past, present, and future. Ben was CEO for 44 years so he had a lot of stories to share, as you can imagine!
We were also joined by Michael Burke who is a current Board Member as well as a Big. Michael spoke to his experience as a Big and everyone in the room was inspired by his words.
We look forward to our next Open House on February 15, 2023 - Save the date!
