Help Hanna raise money

At the behest of my team, I've promised to race wearing our inflatable duck suit, if I manage to raise $1,500 in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Wood Buffalo.

About BBBSWB

Every young person connected, every community strengthened: our mission is to ignite the power of young people in Wood Buffalo through mentorship. We support 6–18‑year‑olds to develop and express themselves with confidence, cultivate strong, trust-based relationships that enhance community and unlock potential, and prioritize inclusive, culturally informed programs and relationships grounded in respect, safety, and belonging.

Since 1979, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been a cornerstone of Wood Buffalo, serving Fort McMurray, Fort Chipewyan, Anzac, Conklin, and Janvier. What began as a service to match Bigs and Littles grew with the community into a wide range of free mentorship programs: Community‑Based One‑on‑One Mentoring (Bigs/Littles), Corporate Mentoring, Crafty Kids, Full Circle Mentoring, Game On!, Go Girls!, Ignite!, PRISM, and Teen Mentoring.

Mentorship profoundly supports a young person’s emotional, social, and physical well‑being; when our young people thrive, the whole community benefits, with every dollar invested returning twenty dollars to the region:

- Mentored youth are twice as likely to feel happy, healthy, and confident.

- Mentored youth are 20% more likely to attend college and earn 15% more across their careers.

- 94% of mentored youth have an enhanced sense of self-identity and self-worth, and feel more optimistic.
