"I just want Chris to know that I'm really thankful for the commitment he's made to me throughout the 5+ years we've been matched. I can't exactly tell you where I'd be right now or what my life would be like without him, but I can say pretty confidently that it definitely wouldn't be as good as it is right now." - Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City Little Shane, 2024 Little Brother of the Year 💚 #BiggerTogether

Happy #ThrowbackThursday to an unforgettable week at the BBBSA National Conference! Today, we want to take a moment to thank each and every Big, Little, staff member, and supporter who shared their stories, insights, and passion throughout the week. Your contributions are the heart and soul of our movement. As we continue our work in our communities, let's carry the knowledge, inspiration, and spirit of connection from the conference with us. Thank you again for an incredible week in Dallas! Let's keep being big in all that we do, and let's keep igniting potential wherever we go. #BiggerTogether

When Shane was 9 years old, his father passed away from brain cancer. In the midst of his grief, he found support in his Big Brother Chris, who had also lost a parent at the same age. Over the years, their bond has grown stronger with each shared experience. From the small gestures like attending Shane's wrestling matches to the unforgettable moment when Shane announced the NFL draft pick, their connection has become an integral part of both their lives. Little Shane says he can't wait to become a Big one day. We are honored to celebrate the bond between Big Chris and Little Shane from Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City, our 2024 Big and Little of the Year! https://lnkd.in/gQYifhnm #BiggerTogether
