As youngsters, most of us had the benefit of experiencing the stability of an adult presence in our lives. Increasingly, however, this is not the case for a lot of kids today.

Cathy and I, the Federated organization, and our growing list of sponsors are proud to support the fine work that Big Brothers Big Sisters is doing in our community and in our state to mentor at-risk children.

When we combine the charitable hearts of powerful organizations and their dynamic leaders with a most worthy challenge, something extraordinary can happen for our children and, in turn, for the future of Minnesota.

Thanks for helping us make a difference!
