Big Brothers Big Sisters 5K

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

When you support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lorain County, you’re not just participating in an event – you’re joining a movement! Together, we are empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers. Research shows that under-resourced children and youth who have volunteer mentors and support services are far more likely to attend school regularly, thrive academically, exhibit healthy behaviors, build nurturing relationships, exude high self-esteem, and graduate from high school with a plan for the future.

🤝 Empowering Mentorship

• Support: Your support and the support of others help our children achieve great things!
• Mentoring: Through one-on-one mentoring relationships with caring adults, we empower children ages 6 – 19 to dream big, build resilience, and unlock their full potential.
• Services: Our support services strengthen our mentoring with social and emotional learning, academic enrichment and tutoring, career and college readiness programming, summer camps, a Learning Resource Center, and family engagement activities.
