Big Brother Steve and Little Brother Chris have been friends via the Big Brothers program for two years.

When they first met, Chris was shy and afraid to try new things. Steve laughs about how Chris was even afraid to try new foods! They have since made a habit of trying different restaurants and making adventures of every day tasks.

Chris’ mom, Gini, reports that he is now far more confident, vocal and happy to be confronted with new challenges.

“In my case, I no longer see Chris as just my Little Brother matched from the Big Brothers program,” tells Big Brother Steve. “Chris is my brother... period.”

Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver matches children like Chris with positive adult role models. All proceeds from The 2010 Scotiabank Bowl for Big Brothers Classic support our programs and the friendships we create. Give BIG.
