LITTLEPALOOZA

We wish to thank Nationwide and its employees for the wonderful event they provided for BBBS. We had approximately 200 of our families and friends join us at the event which was filled with fun activities, games, clown, and so much more.

 We would like to thank our families, Littles, Bigs, and friends who came out to support Littlepalooza. You helped make this event the success that it was.

 We would like to extend our gratitude and sincerest appreciation to Jeremy Staun, Blanca Figueroa Estrada and Debbie Frening for the hard work in sponsoring this event. We greatly appreciate the extra time that you put into the event and we truly feel that it could not have been successful without your hard work.

 And again, to the dedicated employees of Nationwide who gave of their time, shared fun activities with our children and participated in fundraisers to help raise money for our organization, thank you, thank you, thank you!

 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Florida is definitely blessed to have Nationwide “on our side”.

 We would also like to thank our sponsors, Domino’s Pizza, Earth Origins and Pepsi for providing the food and drinks for this event.  We are sincerely grateful.
