The Big Brothers Big Sisters National Leadership Council (NLC) recognized the local affiliate, Big Brothers Big Sisters Lone Star, with a 2015 Big Brothers Big Sisters of America Quality Award. Big Brothers Big Sisters is in its 88th year of serving our community’s children.

In the past year, we served 8,024 children and were recognized for its quality community programming. “This Quality Award reflects the care and attention that goes into each match between a Big and a Little. The Lone Star agency has done an outstanding job serving children in its community,” said Pam Iorio, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
