We had such a great time at this year's Ice Cream Social and Backpack Event sponsored by DirecTV. We were able to outfit 30 children with backpacks full of school supplies for the upcoming year. Our Bigs, Littles, staff and volunteers had fun in the sun playing volleyball, kickball, extreme Frisbee and making crazy hats. The ice cream truck in the park made for the perfect way to celebrate the Backpack Event. Thank you to DirecTV, all of their volunteers and their efforts!Meet Laura!Laura graduated from Cedarville University in Ohio with a BA in Public Administration and has been back in Idaho for a year.

We had some great submissions for our Big Cheese contest so far! Our first theme was revisiting where Bigs and Littles first met. The photos we received were so fun and full of big cheesy grins. Congratulations to Brandi and Victoria for winning this round of #BBBSbigcheese photo contest. They first met at the park three years ago and are continuing to have fun there today. They will be receiving a $25 gift card to TJ Maxx to share for some Back to School shopping.
