The Power of Mentorship
At Gaithersburg Middle School, Mason was losing confidence and falling behind due to limited parental support at home. When we matched Mason with his Big Brother, Lt. Colonel Warren Christopher, everything changed. Together, they’ve built a bond—filled with football games, Smithsonian visits, and school projects—that transformed Mason’s life.
Our Impact is Clear
These aren’t just numbers—they’re lives transformed by the power of mentorship. But we need your help to keep these life-changing relationships going.
85% of Littles are less likely to have contact with juvenile courts
70% are less likely than their peers to initiate drug usage
64% are more likely to improve their academic performance

This holiday season, we invite you to give the gift of potential. Your donation will empower more Littles to thrive. Together, we can ignite the potential in every child and build bigger futures for our community.
