How does your DECC 5k registration make a difference?

100% of your registration comes back to BBBS to help us provide mentoring programs that clear the path for a child’s biggest, brightest future by creating one-to-one mentoring relationships between caring adult volunteers (Bigs) and youth (Littles) who have the greatest need for support.

Recent research shows that Littles are 20% more likely to enroll in college and earn 15% more over their lifetime, effectively closing 2/3 of the socioeconomic gap. Every dollar you invest in BBBS helps create and sustain transformative mentoring relationships. With your support, we can ensure that more young people have access to caring adult mentors who will help them navigate challenges and reach their full potential.
