Forty has become a big number for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Prince George.
To celebrate 40 years in the city, the agency has launched the Big 40 Project through which it is working to create a $40,000 legacy fund - $40 at a time.
That's how much BBBS is asking everyone to contribute and those who do will be be recognized on a 40th anniversary legacy wall set to debut September.
While the project is suggesting a $40 donation there are set donation levels and all donations no matter the size will stay in Prince George and support the mentoring programs being run by the agency. The Prince George Canadian Tire has committed the first $2,500 of the $40,000 goal.
"Over the last 40 years our agency has seen exciting changes and this is because of the ongoing support of our community," said BBBS executive director Tim Bennett..
"Together we can create a legacy for our programs, our children and community. We need your help to ensure each local child has a network of caring and consistent adults."
Tax deductible donations can be made online at bit.ly/bbbspg40, over the phone at 250-563-7410 or in person at the Big Brothers Big Sisters office located at 777 Kinsmen Place.
