A H elping H and for the H olidays CHRISTMAS LAW FIRM DONATES $1,000 TO BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS
Here at Christmas Law Firm, we’ve made it part of our mission to give back to the communities we serve in North Charleston, Summerville, and Mt. Pleasant, and, for the last few years, that gratitude has included an annual donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lowcountry. This holiday season, we donated $1,000 to the group, and we can’t wait to see them use it to help kids across the city! Since 1904, Big Brothers Big Sisters has worked hard to ensure every child they collaborate with reaches their potential. To do that, the organization matches kids ages 5 and up (who they call “Littles”) with adult role models (“Bigs”) who teach them positive values, strengthen their work ethic, and boost their self-esteem. Studies have shown that a positive influence can help kids and teens stay out of trouble and focused on academics, which is a step toward a positive future. As the group itself puts it, its mission is to “provide children facing adversity
with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever” and ultimately, it envisions a world where every child achieves success, whatever that may look like for them. On Saturday, Dec. 7, Big Brothers Big Sisters will host a Big Lowcountry Boil at Holy City Brewing, complete with craft beer, games, activities, and live music. Tickets cost $30 and include admission, food, drinks,
and entertainment. All of the proceeds benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters, so there’s nothing but upside to the night. We hope you’ll join us in giving back this holiday season.
