Fifteen boys from our waiting list and their parents/guardians got to experience Morehouse football up close at last Saturday’s BIGYB Kickoff.

BIGYB, or “Brother, I Got Your Back,” is a new initiative from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta in partnership with @morehousefootball and @mfaa1867. The initiative is designed to engage boys on our waitlist with meaningful experiences and connections as they wait to be matched with a Big Brother through our traditional mentoring program. The day included an orientation at Forbes Arena, a meet-up at the MLK statue, on-field warmups and pregame activities with Morehouse football players and alumni, lunch at the stadium and, of course, the Morehouse vs. Central State game. Thank you to Morehouse Football and the Morehouse Football Alumni Association for helping make this experience possible!
