"What
would the world be like if every child had a caring adult who
listened to them, nurtured their self-esteem, and showed them
the possibilities of the world? This book answers that question
and confirms once and for all: mentoring is the strongest tool
there is to prepare the next generation to have the moral strength,
compassion and courage to become successful, loving adults.”

"Big
Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that I have supported
for more than two decades. This book is a testament to the power
of the Big Brothers Big Sisters one-to-one form of mentoring,
and the ability of one person to change a child's life. Each
story touched me with the impact that a Big Brother or Big Sister
has had and the difference that one person can make.”

"Ken
Blanchard and I were excited about including Big Brothers Big
Sisters in the story-line of our book, THE ON-TIME, ON-TARGET
MANAGER. The reason is that BBBS is all about sticking to the
mission and making a positive impact. Everyone benefits from
participation—not just the "Littles," but every bit as much
the "Bigs." These wonderful true stories are clear proof!”

"We
had more Big Brothers Big Sisters stories in Chicken Soup
for the Volunteer's Soul than any other charitable organization.
This book is further evidence why! One hundred years of touching
children's lives has resulted in some incredible stories—heartwarming,
inspiring tales that will make you laugh, touch your soul and
leave you misty eyed.”

"The Centennial Book
demonstrates an old truism—that it is better to give than to
receive—and illustrates why Big Brothers and Sisters believe
that they get back so much more than they give. If you are not
already a Big Brother or Sister before you start reading this
book, you will be!"

Ostrowski

“Much of my childhood
was shaped by the care and encouragement of a mentor.
Perhaps it was that influence that lead me to a vocation of
service to others. United Way's dedication to the spirit
of voluntarism comes to life through Big Brothers and Big Sisters
everyday. We salute our partnership with Big Brothers
Big Sisters and we salute with admiration the special partnerships
that last a lifetime as told so beautifully in this book.”
