Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island

For the past several years I have happily served as President of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island. As I prepare to step down from this position and pass the torch to another I want to thank all who answered my call and became members of the Big Brothers Big Sisters President’s Circle.
 
We have an incredible organization that serves all communities, and I am extremely proud of my affiliation.

As President I am committed to do everything I can to help continue to move the needle of this group’s finances and mission which is why I have committed my annual gift for not only for 2019, but for the next three consecutive years to ensure when I step down from my position, the impact I am making will continue into the future. I hope you will be able to do the same.

This year we have an opportunity to ‘knock it out of the park’ with the addition of one of our newest board members and Chairperson of our Development Committee, Elizabeth Catucci.

Last year, we had a goal to collectively raise $50,000 to provide children in our state with professionally supported one to one mentoring relationships.  You overwhelmingly answered my call to action with an astounding $76,000!

With that, I have committed to our Board and our leadership to bring the Big Brothers Big Sisters President’s Circle to the next level. I am confident that with Liz’s help, we can put a group of civic-minded leaders, friends and partners together to commit $1,000.00 or more each for a collective $100,000.00 raised from the “Presidents Circle” from now until May 12, 2019 – raising $100,000.00 in 100 days.

This is truly an appeal, no fancy collateral, no promise of some marketing miracle, certainly some tickets if desired to our 2019 events, but simply Liz and I asking our circle of trust to help.  Please let me know your level of participation so I can track our progress towards the President’s Circle Goal of $100,000.00.

Fondly,

Brendan C. Kane
