Leave Your Mark: How a Single Gift Sustains a Year of Potential 

THEIR POTENTIAL IS BIG. YOU IGNITE IT. 

As this year draws to a close, we look back and see our community in every success story. Your support made a tangible difference in 2025: 

• 229 Youth served in 1:1 mentoring across Northern Nevada. 

• 90.1% five-year graduation rate for youth served in our program. 

• 12 Littles launched our Big Futures Program to empower their future. 

• 23 Bigs and Littles launched the inaugural High School Bigs program. 

While we celebrate these victories, we know that potential is still waiting in every corner of Northern Nevada. Our vision for 2026 is bold. 

Join us in this final, urgent push to end the year strong, so that come January 1, we can hit the ground running for the youth who are waiting for us to arrive. When you stand with us, you are directly investing in the potential of our youth that will define the future. 

LEAVE YOUR MARK. WEAR YOUR IMPACT. 

A $1,200 commitment doesn’t just start a relationship, it sustains the life-changing consistency needed for success. For example, it looks like Little Maria, who was too shy to speak English in class, now feeling empowered to speak up thanks to her Bilingual Big Sister Alejandra’s support. It looks like Little Dayton, who went from missing high school credits to graduating a full year early due to dedication and mentorship. 

A gift of $1,200 ensures a Little has a dedicated mentor for the entire year and helps a Little needs to reach their biggest possible futures. As a thank you for giving at this critical level (or more) to receive the exclusive 2026 Defender of Potential gear as our thank you!
