Big Brothers Big Sisters Thank Volunteers

ZANESVILLE, Ohio- Big Brothers Big Sisters of Zanesville honored their faithful volunteers and donors with an annual dinner.

The dinner is made possible through a donation by the Gannet Foundation and the generosity of Bryans Place for hosting the event. But Executive Director, Jenni Masterson, says tonight was all about the volunteers and donors who have kept Big Brothers Big Sisters alive for 50 years in Zanesville.

“There is really nothing we can do that can celebrate our volunteers well enough but we are so grateful that we have this evening to celebrate them a little bit to show them how special they really are and how we really couldn’t do any of what we do for kids and helping kids without their help.”
