A Word From Our CEO…
I’m reminded of a quote from Margaret Mead “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the
world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.” Our mentors, parents, donors, board members and staff have worked to change the
world for the youth in our community, and in our report you’ll see that our efforts are making a difference. We are committed to our
unwavering focus on cost efficiency and delivering the highest quality mentoring with the best outcomes.
It was another great year for us. We were selected as a Quality Award winner by Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (1 of 44), selected as a partner with iMentor to deliver our new mentor2.0 program (only 1 of 11 nationwide), and our own Big Brother Alan
Fedrigon, was selected as the Illinois Big Brother of the Year!
We still have a lot of work to do this year to recruit Bigs and raise funds, but none of our successes would be possible without the
financial support of our friends and donors like you. We thank you for your continued support of our programs.
Little Sisters Sky
and April with
their Mom Maria

Alan Fedrigon was matched
with his Little Brother, Deonte,
in 2010. The match began as a
Site-Based Match, meeting at
Deonte’s school, then transitioned to the Community-Based
Program in 2011. Deonte
needed a mentor in his life
because he was having
difficulty focusing in school which led to bad grades, as well as
confrontations with peers and teachers. Over the five years of
their match Alan has provided Deonte with the encouragement,
guidance and consistency he needed. Even through difficult
times of loss, the pair has supported each other and created a
strong, trusting bond. Alan has helped Deonte maintain good
grades, improve his behavior and become more confident in his
relationships with his peers.

Agency Big Sister of the Year!
Big Sister Debbie and Little Sister Ta’Brina have been matched through our community based
program for 11 years. Ta’Brina and her siblings are being raised by her grandmother and
therefore needed some one-on-one attention from a caring adult mentor. Throughout their time
together both Debbie and grandmother, Sabrina, have seen improvements in Ta’Brina’s
confidence, dealing with her emotions and setting goals for herself. Ta’Brina knows that
Debbie will be there to support her during hard times and celebrate with her during great times.
Because of Debbie’s influence in her life Ta’Brina wants to become a Big Sister in the program
some day and be able to help a child the same way Debbie has helped her. Ta’Brina says it
best: “Debbie motivates me to do great things and to be myself at all times.”
