#GivingTuesday

​Imagine being like Michael and not having someone to look up to when you were a kid.  Imagine being like Emma and not having a positive role model to guide you down a responsible path in life.  Where would you have ended up?  Imagine a community where every child fulfills his or her potential and steers clear of bad decisions.  What if every child in Shelby and Darke County graduates high school, attends a college or technical school, and then gives back to his or her community?  Imagine the possibilities!  What kind of potential would that ignite?
 
The Community Foundation of Shelby County is sponsoring Match Day again this year on Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2019, to celebrate their 67 years of community philanthropy.  Last year this event raised $280,603.76 for our local community.  Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is challenged to generate donations that will be matched up to $5,000 by the Community Foundation match pool of $80,000.  All Giving Tuesday donations received through The Community Foundation of Shelby County’s Match Day will be utilized for our after-school Big Buddies mentoring programs.
