Dear Bigs,

 

We know that things in the world have been crazy for the last few weeks. With that being said, we are more grateful than ever for our Bigs! You all have been doing an amazing job finding ways to digitally connect with your Littles and support them through this time.

Thank you for all that you do!

 

Warm wishes,
The Community Team
