Ivy League Club
Sarasota and Manatee Counties
The Ivy League Club of Sarasota and Manatee Counties is an active group of alumni from all eight Ivy League schools who just happen to live in the beautiful Gulf Coast area of Florida.
\Next Ivy League Club Event: Tuesday, May 1st Shelly Van Dusen, Big Brothers and Big Sisters
Shelly Van Dusen, Community Resource Director for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS), will be the guest speaker. BBBS is one of the oldest donor and volunteer-supported youth development agencies in the country that serves ages 6-18 through one-to-one mentoring programs. The agency’s mission is to provide children facing adversity and challenges in their lives with strong and enduring relationships built on trust and friendship. “Littles” matched with “Bigs” benefit in many ways from improved relationships with peers, family and adults; to avoidance of risky behaviors; better academic performance; and an improved sense of confidence and hope for the future. BBBS changes lives for the better and this wouldn’t be possible without a strong corps of volunteer mentors. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Big or supporting the organization in other ways, please contact Shelly at 941-331-4376 or svandusen@bbbssun.org.
(Field Club, Captain's Room. Gather at 11:30 a.m.; lunch served at noon)
