Pensacola, Florida (August 2, 2024) – Recently, the Gulf Winds Cares Foundation made donations to Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida in Pensacola, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Big Bend in
Tallahassee, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Gulf Coast in lower Alabama. Gulf Winds Credit
Union’s charitable arm collectively donated $9,000 to support one-to-one mentoring relationships that
ignite the power and potential of each child.
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) affiliates are cornerstones of their communities, empowering youth to
overcome challenges and meet their full potential through transformational mentorships. BBBS provides
children a safe place to build positive relationships that have long-lasting effects.
As the nation’s largest donor- and volunteer-supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters’ impact would not be as substantial without donors like Gulf Winds. “The investment we receive from Gulf Winds transforms the lives of children,” exclaimed Paula Shell, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida, in Pensacola. “Our partnership creates opportunities for a brighter future, breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering hope in young hearts. Every donation, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in nurturing the potential of each child and building a better community.”
Gulf Winds donations transform the lives of thousands of Littles across America, giving them confidence and support to unlock their potential. sTo support the BBBS alongside the Gulf Winds Cares Foundation, visit BBBS.org.
