What if every child was set on the right path?
What if every child stayed in school?
What if every child reached their potential?
What would it start?
It would be the start of something BIG!
At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh, we help ordinary people
make a big impact in the lives of children everyday. This is why our new
branding campaign — Start Something™ — is so appropriate. It’s more
than just a catchy marketing slogan. It reflects the heart of our mission.
The message appeals to recent college graduates or empty-nesters seeking
flexible, meaningful volunteer opportunities. It speaks to a group of
friends who want to throw a party and donate the proceeds to a worthy
cause. It urges successful businesses to reinvest talent and treasure in their
community. It even reminds those without money or time to give that they,
too, can Start Something™ by becoming an advocate for youth mentoring.
This is what makes our organization so unique. We bring people together
from all walks of life who share a vision to provide children facing
adversity with professionally supported, one-to-one relationships that
change their lives for the better in enduring ways.
During our Volunteer Recognition Dinner, 18 year-old Little Brother
Montel said: “I never had positive male influences in my life – my brother
roamed the streets and I didn’t have a father. My Big Brother Ed has been
there for me over the last six years.” Because Ed chose to Start Something™,
Montel graduated from high school and plans to attend college with a
Pittsburgh Promise scholarship.
In this Annual Report, you will find the names of thousands of individuals,
organizations, businesses, and foundations that made it possible for us to
help nearly 1,200 local children most in need. We’ve also shared some of
the highlights of the year with you in the pages that follow. We hope they
will inspire you to Start Something™ for a child in our community.
Volunteer to mentor a child who needs a positive adult influence to guide
them through the hardship they face. Donate money to help fund our
mentoring relationships, give event tickets to provide free opportunities
for mentors and mentees to spend time together, or contribute other
resources required to sustain our operations. Or Advocate on our behalf
to others who might be able to Start Something™ in their own way.
On behalf of the children we serve, thank you for your generous
contributions.

The community-based mentoring program is the traditional evidence-based one-to-one youth mentoring model.

playing catch, conversing, seeing movies, eating out, attending sporting events, or simply sharing ordinary
moments of daily life.

Couples) in the community-based mentoring program between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011.

Match Activity Highlights
The majority of Bigs and Littles spend time on their own playing ball in the park, going to the movies, baking
cookies or simply sharing a meal together. It is from these simple shared experiences that relationships grow, helping
children to gain greater confidence, develop a sense of caring for others and acquire other intangibles required to
achieve success. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh facilitates the relationship-development process by
providing unique opportunities for each match to learn, share, and interact together. Throughout the year, the agency
on its own – and in partnership with community partners – offers a wide range of experiences and opportunities to
mentoring matches. Below are some highlights from the community-based program over the past year:
Big/Little Parties – The summer and winter parties are seasonal traditions
that Bigs, Littles and staff always enjoy. Whether a day of summer fun at
Camp Guyasuta or an afternoon of ice skating at Schenley Park, these
annual events draw hundreds of Bigs and Littles from across the service
area. Each event is an opportunity for mentoring matches to have fun and
know that they are part of something larger than themselves.
The agency continued its ongoing partnership with Venture Outdoors,
offering matches unique opportunities to get outside and experience the
world around them. Bigs and Littles went
kayaking and biking along the Allegheny
River, participated in a fishing derby and
geocached in Allegheny Cemetery.
Seven of the ten graduating Littles joined their Bigs at the Annual
Volunteer Recognition dinner in April 2011. These long-term matches
shared the enormous impacts of their time together, inspiring the other
100 Bigs in attendance. This event was a vivid reminder of the positive
outcomes that can be achieved through one-to-one mentoring.
Tickets for Kids Foundation – along with many generous individual
donors – enabled hundreds of Bigs and Littles to experience theatrical
productions, attend local college and professional sporting events and
enjoy many other local events throughout the year. These opportunities
promote positive interactions, helping to build strong, healthy matches.
In June 2011, the “100 Robots for 100 Kids” project gave its 100th robot
to a match. In Winter 2006, Mark Palatucci was working on his Ph.D. in
robotics at Carnegie Mellon University when several of his colleagues
devised the idea to give 100 at-risk children a robot kit – Lego
Mindstorm NXT – to fuel their passions for robotics and technology. Over
a span of four years and
six months, Mark and
a group of volunteers
from Carnegie Mellon,
Google, and Intel
Pittsburgh gathered
many times with small
groups of matches to help
them build basic robots.
As matches worked with
these volunteers, they
learned how to program
the robots on their own,
enabling them to create
their own innovations.
In January 2011, the agency arranged
for several Bigs, Littles, and staff
members to board a bus bound for
Harrisburg, PA to participate in
festivities precipitating the inauguration
of Governor Tom Corbett. Governor
Corbett invited representatives from
all 26 Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies
statewide to join him and his family
for a “Showcase of Pennsylvania
Performing Arts” – a spectacular
presentation of local talent. In addition
to this event, the agency planned tours
of a local television station and the State
Capital complex. The Big Brothers
Big Sisters State Association of
Pennsylvania was selected to receive
proceeds from inauguration ticket sales.
Several Pittsburgh athletic organizations provided Bigs and Littles unique
experiences at sporting events. Sidney Crosby again accommodated
matches in his luxury suite at CONSOL Energy Center for several
Pittsburgh Penguins games. The Pittsburgh Power invited matches to
participate in pregame, on-field festivities, then provided them with
front-row seats in the end zone for their final regular season arena football
game at CONSOL
Energy Center. The
Pittsburgh Pirates
joined with the
UMPS Care
organization to
enable several
matches to
participate in a
pregame meet ‘n
greet with umpires
prior to several
baseball games.
In Fall 2010, the agency was approved for a grant from the Pennsylvania
Commission on Crime & Delinquency (PCCD) to expand the communitybased mentoring program. The focus of this grant was to strengthen
supportive services to matches serving Littles ages 12-18 in order to meet
their evolving needs and interests. Drawing on feedback from these
matches, the agency designed a curriculum of structured activities – or
“Big Alternatives” – to address the areas of education, recreation, vocation
and culture. To date, matches have been offered opportunities to volunteer
with Habitat for Humanity, Global Links and the Greater Pittsburgh
Community Food Bank. In addition, older Littles and their Bigs have
toured the Manchester Craftsman’s Guild where they learned how to make
ceramic pottery, toured the August Wilson Center where they participated
in a traditional African drum circle and visited the offices of Microsoft
Pittsburgh where they learned how to design their own video games.
