Who We Are

About Big Brothers Big Sisters

Big Brothers Big Sisters Fargo is the local chapter housed under The Village Family Service Center. We connect Littles in our area with Bigs who serve as one-to-one mentors — building relationships that shape futures.

Right now, we have 80 Littles waiting to be matched. This campaign exists to change that number.

The Campaign

How We’re Painting The Town Green

Okay, to be fair — we’re not literally painting the town green (unless any business partners are willing!). What we’re actually doing is partnering with local entities across Fargo-Moorhead to run green-themed initiatives all September long.

Some examples of how partners are getting involved:

  • Sell a green shirt in September and donate proceeds back to BBBS
  • Post a green square on social media and send followers to this page
  • Change your home or business lights to green for the month
  • Host your own GREEN-themed fundraiser or event

Have an idea? We’d love to hear it. Contact us to get listed on this page → (jack@adshark.com)
