Big Brothers/Big Sisters begins in Jefferson CountyReported by: Carolyn Donaldson
Monday, Jun 29, 2009 @09:43pm EDT
This mentoring program in Jefferson county reopened recently with the Elk and McKean county programs and has several dozen littles waiting to be matched.
Meet Brendon. This 11- year old is on summer vacation now after a great school year where Spelling is one of his favorite subjects.
He would love the company of a big brother to enjoy playing and watching sports, especially basketball and baseball. Brendon also loves animals and riding his bike. One day in the future Brendon plans on becoming a pediatric dentist.
Then there's 8 year old Cody. This active Jefferson county kid loves all sporting activities and listed Gym as his favorite subject in school this past year.
He's planning on becoming a doctor down the road, but for now, Cody could certainly use a big friend to ride bikes, play basketball and go swimming.
