Thank You for a Wonderful Evening!
What if even a fraction of the billions of dollars generated by online shoppers this holiday season was directed toward a better and safer Baton Rouge by making a difference in the lives our children?
Big Buddy has teamed up with GoodShop.com, to do just that! It’s a form of philanthropy that works for everyone in this tough economy!

Big Buddy Alert:
Big Buddy is NOT collecting money outside local businesses – we have received several reports of children standing outside businesses all over town saying they are collecting money for Big Buddy to send children to Houston. THIS IS NOT BIG BUDDY – if you are approached by these children, please call the BR Police (225-389-2000) and report this fraud.
Donate
Our work is not possible without contributions from community members and corporations. We are fortunate to be a United Way Agency and have received consistent support from the Louisiana Department of Education, Baton Rouge Area Foundation, Irene W. Pennington Foundation, Huey and Angelina Wilson Foundation, and ExxonMobil.
Together we are making a difference in the lives of our children.
Direct to Their Hearts
Individuals can give direct to support one or more of the over 2,300 youth served on a weekly basis. Your donation of $30.00 per month can ensure that a youth has a ride home after participation in an after school program; provide a caring role model to help him/her to complete homework assignments; or provide access to enrichment activities after school on a daily basis.
Your donation of $20.00 per month will ensure that a child in need of a special friend has a one-on-one role model that he or she can look to for guidance and support as they move towards success.
