By | General News | No Comments

Graham and Swain County Independent Brand Partners held a Bowl for Kids’ Sake (BFKS) event for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western North Carolina on Nov. 5, 2016. This was the first BFKS event for the Graham and Swain County branch, and it was a success! The Neora team (one of eight at the event) was successful in using the online fundraising vehicle to gather support from other Independent Brand Partners. The funds raised at this event will help support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western North Carolina’s new school mentoring program. Graham County started its program this fall. Both counties are in a rural, mountainous area of North Carolina. A great portion of the area is part of a Cherokee reservation and Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Brand Partners concentrated on recruiting business and civic teams in the area to great success! Total donations for the BFKS event…

Big Brother

By | Ripple Stories | No Comments

Independent Brand Partner Steve Engleman was recognized as Big of the Year at the annual The Big Event and Impact Awards this month at Greektown Casino and Hotel in downtown Detroit. Steve became a Big Brother in January 2015 when he was matched with a 9-year-old boy named Seth. Steve was inspired to become a big by a mentor of his own who promised him that becoming a Big would be one of the most rewarding and gratifying experiences of his life. “The experience has been nothing short of amazing,” said Steve. “It has given me more than I ever imagined and provided me with the ability to make a difference in another person’s future. My relationship with my little, Seth, has grown and we have built a strong friendship based on trust and mutual interest in helping Seth grow and stay on course for reaching his goals.” Seth and…

Mentor Helps Little Find Strength, Confidence

By | Ripple Stories | No Comments

Two years ago, I got out of my comfort zone and committed to being a Big Sister. I was matched with an incredible 6-year-old with a beautiful name: MaKayla. As with any 6-year-old, her energy was off the charts! But one of the things she had issues with, and still does to some degree, was self-confidence. She was scared of everything! But she was willing to try almost everything, too! We’ve climbed the wall at the rec center, gone horseback riding, swimming, and so much more. She has definitely won the heart of my family. MaKayla’s biggest accomplishment is that when we met, she was terrified of Teva, my dog. I understood how a wolf-looking (Shepherd Husky) dog can scare people! Now she now likes to call Teva her dog, she pets her, feeds her treats, and always asks if we can see her. MaKayla has grown in her self-confidence and…
