“We are grateful for all the support we receive from our volunteers and community partners.  We could not be the best mentoring agency in the region without their dedication and commitment to our mission.  The opportunity to honor them at this dinner is one small way to show our appreciation and gratitude” said Director of Programs, Zandra McDonald. 

In addition to the awards portion, Bigs in attendance were able to write message to their Littles. Also, a video played throughout the evening to display messages of thanks to the volunteers from Littles, parents, staff, etc.
