Title: Help me #GiveBIG!

Hello Friends, Family, and Colleagues,

Today launches the #GiveBIG campaign, to help support Big Brothers Big Sisters during giving season. They have a goal of raising $5,000 over the next week, and I need all of you to help me reach it.

Many of you know that I volunteer as a Big (mentor) with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washtenaw County (BBBS). <WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHARE YOUR PERSONAL STORY> That is why supporting this #GiveBIG campaign matters so much to me.

Title: Hey, can you spare $10 for BBBS?

Hello Everyone,

We are a couple of days into the #GiveBIG campaign, and I am so grateful to everyone who has taken a moment to give. If you have been busy, or maybe missed my first message, there is still time for you to help Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) reach their goal.

As a Big, I am helping BBBS during giving season, by participating in their #GiveBIG fundraiser. Their goal is to raise $5,000 by Giving Tuesday. <WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHARE YOUR STORY & WHY THIS GOAL IS IMPORTANT TO YOU PERSONALLY.>

Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated. You can click the link below to DONATE NOW: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/bbrobisisowaco

BBBS has a goal to raise $5,000. <WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHARE YOUR STORY & WHY THIS GOAL IS IMPORTANT TO YOU PERSONALLY.>
