Story from our Big Brothers Big Sisters program

Story from our Big Brothers Big Sisters program

One of our “Littles,” Josiah, is a fan of the Buffalo Bills. During the Field Day event, he asked a BBBS staff member if they would buy tickets to a Bills game. He was told that it was probably unlikely. However, once our Big Brothers Big Sisters staff learned about Josiah’s wish, they decided to make it come true!

The staff worked together to fulfill Josiah’s dream. Two tickets were donated for Josiah and his Big, Anthony, who attended the Buffalo Bills game on December 22nd.

The team decided to keep the surprise a secret from Josiah for as long as possible. Once he found out, he was incredibly excited. Josiah was thrilled and smiled all day at the game!

Amazing experience at the SU basketball game!
