Title: Help me #GiveBIG!

Hello Friends, Family, and Colleagues,

Today I am launching my #GiveBIG campaign, to help support Big Brothers Big Sisters during giving season. They have a goal of raising $5,000 over the next week, and I need all of you to help them reach it.

Many of you know that I am a supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washtenaw County (BBBS). <WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHARE YOUR PERSONAL CONNECTION> That is why supporting this #GiveBIG campaign matters so much to me.
