News Release

WARSAW — For the 10th year in a row, the Kosciusko Board of REALTORS® partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana and hosted “Littles” and their “Bigs” for their Boots for Scholars program.

On Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, KBOR met 25 children and their mentors and parents at Warsaw’s Shoe Carnival. The adults assisted the children in shopping and spending $40 gift cards provided by KBOR to purchase winter boots.

KBOR and Big Brothers Big Sisters have partnered with Shoe Carnival 10 years in a row and would like to thank the excellent staff of Shoe Carnival for their hospitality, including opening an hour early. The shopping spree to buy winter boots was followed by an after-shopping party at the Kosciusko Board of REALTORS board office.

Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mission is to help children reach their potential through support and one-to-one relationships. That mission falls right in line with KBOR’s belief that children and families are made stronger when the community works together as partners to assist and support families in need.
