Alumni Big Brother Larry and former Little Brother Chad were matched in 1986 through independencebigs. "Because Larry believed in me and supported me, I have thrived, " said Chad. "I have a loving family of my own, and I have accomplished a lot professionally, educationally, and personally in my life." Today, the two keep in touch regularly by email and phone calls and plan to visit one another this summer. "Chad has made a fuller life for my wife and me -- when you give, you get," said Larry. #BeBig #BBBSAlumniWeek
