We’re thrilled to announce that the brand new Big Brothers Big Sisters lottery home will be located in Erin Ridge North! As many of you may know, we have been long-time sponsors of BGCBigs and are committed to helping the youth in our communities find mentorship opportunities during their crucial formative years.
The opportunity to have one of the lottery dream homes located in one of our communities holds a special place in our hearts, and we couldn’t feel more blessed to be further supporting this important cause. In this post, we’re providing all the information you need to know about this year’s dream home, the cause it supports, and how and when you can purchase tickets.
The Impact of Big Brothers Big Sisters
BGCBigs provides mentoring and after-school programs to support vulnerable youth. By providing children with support, positive relationships, and the opportunity to learn interpersonal skills and improve their personal strengths, BGCBigs is aiding in the healthy development of children within our communities.
Statistical data shows that children with mentors and positive role models are:
- 27% less likely to start using alcohol
- 46% less likely to start using drugs
- 52% less likely to miss school
- 78% less likely to rely on social assistance programs in their adulthood
This data displays the incredible impact that BGCBigs has on the youth in our city and surrounding communities. By participating in fundraising initiatives (like the dream home lottery), you can play a crucial role in helping more children find mentors that will help them find success in both school and life.
