It was a great day to be a kid, no matter your age, when the Reds took on the Astros on Big Brothers Big Sisters Day.
The Cincinnati Reds teamed up with Tri-State Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies to raise funds for them—and also treated some of children and their mentors to a day at Great American Ball Park.
The Reds offered special seats and reduced prices, with part of the proceeds benefiting the mentoring agencies. Several of the “Little Brothers” and “Little Sisters” were invited onto the field with their “Big Brothers” and “Big Sisters,” and met Cincinnati Reds players as well as mascots.
TV and recording star Nick Lachey, a long-time Big Brother himself, served as honorary captain of the game and talked with Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman on 700 WLW about the experience and encouraged others to volunteer. Lachey then headed to the Big Brothers Big Sisters section of the ball park and led the crowd in singing “Take Me Out ToThe Ball Game.” Big Sister Melia Cadir and her Little Sister Kyleigh, both of Lawrenceburg, were excited to meet Lachey. Cadir says, “It was a big surprise to see him. It’s great that he’s hands on and devotes his time to Big Brothers Big Sisters. He was super nice and really approachable. It was an unforgettable experience and I feel blessed to have that opportunity.”
Kathy List, President & CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati—one of the agency’s involved in the event—was thrilled that the Reds offered this opportunity, saying, “A huge ‘thank you’ to the Cincinnati Reds from the hundreds of volunteers and children across Ohio, Indiana and Northern Kentucky who were able to participate in ‘Big Brothers Big Sisters Day” at the ball park. We are grateful for community partners who understand and support our mission.”
