Paul & Burgandy Ideker

We are honored to be named BBBS Empower Honorees! We are looking forward to participating in the Empower Auction on March 2 and creating a fundraising campaign to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters.

$7,990 of $5,000

BBBS relies on staff, amazing volunteer mentors, and donors just like you to make and support Big and Little friendships in our community. When matched with a Big, 100% of Little Brothers and Sisters in St. Joseph graduated high school on-time, in 2023, and 84% report improved self-esteem. 

Right now, there are over 30 Littles waiting for a Big. We are working to reach our fundraising goal so these kids can be matched with a positive, caring mentor. 

The BBBS program is free to Littles and their families, but it costs a little over $1,500 to create and support a match for a year and $228 to recruit each new Big. When you give, your generosity helps empower the potential of the next generation of college graduates, community leaders, and entrepreneurs. I hope you'll join me in my efforts to defend the potential of kids in St. Joseph by donating today. 

Together, we are Defenders of Potential.

P.S. - I am looking for a wide variety of in-kind donations. If you are able to provide an in-kind donation for my live auction package or are interested in corporate sponsorship opportunities, please let me know.  All financial contributions are tax deductible. Thank you for your support!
