“We can have a positive effect on these kids and just for a day, you know, help out and have some fun, and hopefully that has a positive impact on them,” said Cody Schwartz, forward for the UWGB.
“We try to develop these partnerships in the community for our kids to have new experiences and also to help the other people in the community see that our program exists for a really good reason,” said Big Brothers, Big Sisters organizer Joy Wick.
