The Big Buddy Program was chosen as PILS’ designated philanthropy for the 2022-2023 school year. The Big Buddy Program’s mission is to “build a community of mentoring relationships that advance and inspire our youth to create meaningful change” and “[whose] vision is that every child has a positive role model and village to make good choices, resulting in a healthy and rewarding life.”
A unique feature about the Big Buddy Program is that you can not only make monetary donations through participating in PILS fundraisers, but you can also donate your time by volunteering! There are several different programs within Big Buddy with varying time commitments, so you can commit as little or as much time as you choose.
