On a beautiful Saturday night in El Paso, Texas, hundreds of people gathered to celebrate the success of Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Paso‘s Dance for Kids’ Sake 2022. The event featured live dance performances as El Pasoans stepped up as dancers and judges. Guests were treated to stunning performances and enjoyed an exciting silent auction with wonderful items. All proceeds from the evening went directly to help fund programs that benefit children in need throughout El Paso County.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that provides mentoring and support services to children of all ages. Its mission is to provide strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that help children reach their highest potential. The organization was founded in 1904 by New York City court clerk Ernest Coulter and it has grown into the largest volunteer-supported mentoring organization in the United States. Big Brothers Big Sisters focuses on providing guidance, support and friendship to children who may be facing difficult circumstances.
The organization works with schools, social service agencies, churches and other community organizations to match volunteers (or “Bigs”) with children (“Littles”). The goal is for adults to act as mentors and role models, providing guidance and support to the children they work with. Big Brothers Big Sisters has helped millions of children build confidence, gain self-esteem and succeed in school and beyond. By spending time together, building a relationship, talking about what is important to them both and simply having fun, Bigs provide Littles with a safe and healthy environment that allows them to thrive.
