We are honored to welcome Dale Long into the 2024 Alumni Hall of Fame! Long is a 50-year BBBS volunteer and has been a Big Brother to 8 Littles in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. "I was a survivor of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham. In the aftermath, my grandmother told me to find something to do to serve humanity, because the four girls who were killed in the bombing wouldn't have the chance to do it." #BiggerTogether #BeBig

"I thought I could deeply impact the life of a young person; little did I know the huge impact this little girl would have on me! She's taught me so much and has shaped the way I speak with and interact with my own kids and young people in general. I'm so grateful for the past decade and the next few to come."- Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties Sister Latha #BiggerTogether

"I just want Chris to know that I'm really thankful for the commitment he's made to me throughout the 5+ years we've been matched. I can't exactly tell you where I'd be right now or what my life would be like without him, but I can say pretty confidently that it definitely wouldn't be as good as it is right now." - Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City Little Shane, 2024 Little Brother of the Year 💚 #BiggerTogether

When Shane was 9 years old, his father passed away from brain cancer. In the midst of his grief, he found support in his Big Brother Chris, who had also lost a parent at the same age. Over the years, their bond has grown stronger with each shared experience. From the small gestures like attending Shane's wrestling matches to the unforgettable moment when Shane announced the NFL draft pick, their connection has become an integral part of both their lives. Little Shane says he can't wait to become a Big one day. We are honored to celebrate the bond between Big Chris and Little Shane from Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City, our 2024 Big and Little of the Year! https://lnkd.in/gQYifhnm #BiggerTogether
