Bigs and Littles have fun together — and create memories that last a lifetime. We call it “Little moments … Big magic.” Research points to the powerful, positive, lasting impact Bigs have on children’s lives. Littles are:

• 52% less likely to skip school
• 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
• More likely to get along with their families and peers
