Paint the Town Green

Paint the Town Green with us!

Paint the Town Green is an advocacy and awareness campaign, NOT a fundraiser, focused on highlighting the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) in an effort to advocate for the impact of mentoring youth in our community and to recruit more Bigs.

We are asking local businesses to advocate for mentoring and help us find more mentors for local youth! For restaurants, this might look like creating a green specialty menu item for the week. For other businesses, this might look like swapping out their normal front light with a green one for the week, putting BBBS’s message on their sign, having their staff wear green, etc.

The options are endless. Will you and your business Paint The Town Green with us?

When: All week long – September 15-21, 2024
Where: Kalamazoo, Allegan, Van Buren, and Calhoun Counties
