FORT WAYNE – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana will partner with Ledgeview Brewing Co. for a trivia-themed fundraiser at 6 p.m. Thursday at Ledgeview, 975 Warren St., Warsaw.
The cost to play is $5 per person, in teams of four. Prizes will be distributed to the teams in first and second place and a 50/50 raffle drawing will be held. All proceeds will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters to support its mission to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth in Kosciusko County, according to a news release from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana.
Big Brothers Big Sisters operates through two primary programs. In the community-based program, adult mentors are paired with youth ages 6-13 under the commitment to see each other twice a month for a few hours. Each match is hand-selected based on shared interests, geography and personality.
In the site-based program, also known as Lunch Buddies, volunteers and children meet once a week during the child’s 45-minute lunch break, utilizing resources available within the school. Volunteers may read a book, eat lunch or play games during this time.
To sign up to volunteer for either program, visit the website www.BBBSNEI.org or contact Kosciusko County Development Director Tammy Smith at 574-306-2178.
