Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast launches the Empower Potential campaign. Building on our sustained success and growing need for our programs, we are launching the Empower Potential campaign, a $7.5 million effort to further the mission of BBBSSC and help transform the lives of more children in our community. The campaign will accelerate meeting BBBSSC’s four key strategic plan goals: achieving strategic growth by increasing to at least 2,000 matches; investing in our staff to continue attracting and retaining top talent; raising new funds to support and sustain our growth; and developing a bolder and more inspiring physical presence that engages more people in our mission. The campaign will specifically focus on expanding and sustaining our operations by centralizing our corporate office to reach and mentor more children through a state-of-the-art mentoring center. The campaign will also provide the means necessary for us to build capacity so that we can fulfill two identified community needs: to serve more children through professionally supported one-to-one mentoring; and to meet the increasingly more expansive and complex needs of our youth and their families.
