Dear Editor:

Big Brothers Big Sisters serving Kosciusko County would like to thank all who took part in making The BIG RIDE a huge success! There was plenty of energy, door prizes, food, music, kid’s activities, fun and great weather, which made for a perfect day. Nearly $7,000 was raised to help serve current matches and to help even more kids through our programs in Kosciusko County.

To our Presenting Sponsors: The Bowling Alley; A+ Graphics; Kohl’s; KCH/Medstat; Pill Box Pharmacy; and Zigabyte Corporation, we would not have been able to hold this event without your financial commitment, and the commitment to help kids in Kosciusko County.

To our Start/Finish Sponsors: Medtronic, Paragon Medical and Surefire Advertising, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you Pit Stop Sponsors: Dahms & Yarian, The Car Company, Lake City Media, Meijer and Moose Lodge. Your contribution is greatly appreciated!

We could have not done it without our Mile Marker Sponsors: CenturyLink, Crouse Body Shop, Dog Care Inn, Eagle Outdoor Advertising, JB’s Furniture, Kathy Hamman Remax Rainbow Realtors, Lake City Honda, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Man Cave Motorsports, Niff-Tone Distributors Inc., Psychobilly Kustoms, State Farm Agent Ot Schroeder, Service Liquors, Silveus Insurance Group Inc., Smiley’s Power Sports, Splendor Boats and Symmetry Medical.

We would also like to give a special thanks to: Penguin Point Systems, Rabb Water Systems, TG’s Yogurt, Wabash Donuts in Warsaw, Kevin Kyle, The String Things, Aric Swihart, A.C. McCray with Lake City Rock, the awesome State Police, members of our Ambassador Committee and all who donated door prizes.

We would not be able to support kid’s mentoring programs in Kosciusko County without the generous support of everyone who helped make the Annual BIG Ride for Kid’s Sake a BIG success! Thank you all!
