Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of children in need and to assist them in achieving their highest potential by facilitating a professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships with a committed volunteer.

Big Brothers Big Sisters helps vulnerable children beat the odds.

The organization depends on donations to help recruit volunteers and reach more children. Funding is used to conduct background checks on volunteers to ensure child safety; and provide ongoing support for children, families and volunteers to build and sustain long-lasting relationships. Big Brothers Big Sisters is proven to improve children’s odds for succeeding in school, behaving nonviolently, avoiding drugs and alcohol, and breaking negative cycles.

Located in Nashville and providing services to Davidson County and the contiguous counties, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee served 2,541 children in 2009. Learn how you can change how children grow up in Middle Tennessee by going to mentorakid.org or calling (615) 329-9191.

Have you been thinking about training for the Country Music Half Marathon this spring?
Been looking for a way to meet some great people and make new friends?
What if you could do both and help children in Middle Tennessee at the same time!

Join Team Rio running and walking for Big Brothers Big Sisters in the upcoming Country Music Marathon and Half Marathon. This is the sixth year that runners and walkers from all across Middle Tennessee and beyond have come together on behalf of the children.

To help you get ready, purchase your workout gear (all weather and waterproof!) at Team Nashville February 6-13, and 10% of your purchase will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters in support of Team Rio!  For more info and a flier, click here.  Please tell your friends!

In addition to the Nashville/Williamson county training, we are launching Team Rio Murfreesboro this year with weekly training held in Rutherford County.  The two groups will come together to run the Country Music Marathon and Half Marathon on April 24.

Training for both groups is just beginning, so you're not too late!  For details, click here.
