It is an excellent program in which individuals are matched up with an underprivileged, one parent child and help them through life. I'm writing this because the program relies heavily upon donations for activities for "Bigs" to do with their "Littles." If you have extra tickets to the games that you know in advance that you are not going to use I would highly encourage you to contact Bonnie Mangione at Bonnie.Mangione@bbbs.org and let her know Brian Motroni referred you and you have some tickets that you would like to donate. I can assure you that they will be appreciated and will get used. The Bigs do not receive any sort of financial assistance, so it is nice to occasionally have a free event that we can do with the Littles. I'm taking my Little to his first ever football game of any sort this Saturday and cannot wait to see the excitement on his face as he witnesses our Bulls in action and I get to take him up to the nice Club Level. This is how Bulls fans are created at a young age. Also, if you have the time and energy and are interested in becoming a Big, feel free to email Bonnie and she will provide you the details. It is an extremely rewarding program as you take an active role in the life of a youngster who might otherwise not have any sort of parental support in his or her life.

For those on the fence, also keep this in mind: You earn .1 Priority Point for every season ticket used, so donating them and knowing they will be used is much better than letting them go to waste.
