Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater San Antonio

Time flies when you're making a difference, and that's certainly been the case for the Big Give of Greater San Antonio. As we celebrate the 12-year anniversary of this remarkable fundraising giving day, we're reminded of the countless lives that have been touched and transformed by the power of community generosity.

Grant & Quentin
One of the most heartwarming stories to emerge from the first Big Give in 2013 involves a match that was made to Big Brothers Big Sisters-an organization dedicated to changing the lives of young people through mentorship. Meet Grant, a compassionate and driven individual, who decided to become a Big Brother in 2013. Little did he know that his decision would set toe stage for a lasting bond that would span a decade and beyond.

Grant was paired with Quentin, a spirited and determined young man who was eager to navigate life's challenges with a mentor by his side. Their connection was instant, and as they embarked on a journey together, neither of them could have predicted to e profound impact they would have on each other's lives.

Today

Fast forward to the present day, and Grant and Quentin are still an inseparable duo, standing as a testament to the incredible potential of mentorship. Quentin, once a young boy with dreams and aspirations, has not only graduated from high school but has also successfully completed his college education. The trajectory of his life has been transformed, and it's thanks in part to the unwavering support and guidance of his Big Brother, Grant.
