Martin and Jayden

We recently celebrated Martin and Jayden's 9 year match anniversary at our Annual Meeting. Jayden first joined Big Brothers Big Sisters because he didn't have a male role model in his life. The moment Marty came into the picture, his whole life changed! Jayden says that Marty has been there for every milestone he's accomplished and is still very present in his life today.


"We’ve made so many great memories and there’s way more great ones to make together. He has forever impacted my life for the better and I’m glad that out of anyone that he was the one I got matched to because our relationship is deeper than just the program. He has and will forever be a part of my family, and nothing will break our bond."


The Annual Meeting was extra special for Jayden because he, along with three other students, were presented with a $1,000 scholarship to pursue their next steps after high school.


 
 

Annual Meeting

We recently hosted our Annual Meeting at The Hanover Insurance Group on January 27th. The evening was filled with inspiring speeches, heartfelt recognitions, and special honors, including the induction of Celtics legend Bob Cousy into our Hall of Fame. A dedicated volunteer and mentor, Cousy has served as a "Big" three times, and his 60 years of service to Big Brothers Big Sisters were celebrated during the event. 


Throughout the evening, we recognized the powerful, life-changing impact of mentoring relationships. The Assumption University Football team was presented with the Cornerstone's in your Corner award for their exceptional support of our program. This past Fall, 20 football players were matched with Littles and another 50 are ready to be matched!


In addition, we celebrated several remarkable matches, including the Linda Urbec Matches of the Month for 2024: September’s match of Ginalee and Helen Demers, October’s match of Joslin and Maggie Davis, November’s match of Vicky and Delaney Colson, and December’s match of Amelia and Arin Whitman-Jemison. Over 30 match anniversaries were also honored, celebrating the enduring bonds between mentors and mentees in the program. 


We were honored to have several special guests including Congressman Jim McGovern, the Mayor of Worcester, Joe Petty, Raul Martinez from NBC, and Elizabeth Deliberto from the Nativity School of Worcester.
