“BE” CAUSES

Boys, Clubs, Make Men

Just because you don’t own a dog, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy seeing them play!

Just because you don’t have children, doesn’t mean you can’t love children laugh and play!

Just because you own a home, this was not always where you lived.

… And just because you’ve been blessed, please don’t forget you have a reason to give!

Understand your “BE” causes, and do something, just “BE” cause you can!   

MY STORY: The first time I went to Washington D.C., was as a “Boy’s Club Singer” and we made an album.  Although I am a bonafide “non-singer” today, I love good singer!  The Boy’s Club was a turning point in my life, literally – I saw a different world!  Next, I have a “little brother (non-BBBS),” because my brother’s mom knew of the BBBS program and thought I would be good “big brother.”  Coincidently (or GOD send – I know it was God), my little brother”s name is Michael and one of my mentors, a father figure, is named Michael (can you say “full circle”).  Funny, my little brother taught me as much as I taught him!  Last (until next time), I worked on my first Habitat For Humanity project in 2018.  There is nothing like the feeling of building, including building your community or helping a neighbor.  If you are willing to try “a little can do,” try it, just one time (Note: The H4H site will give you locations near you)

 

If you can’t spare a dime, can you spare a few minutes? 

MY “BE”cause:  I can make a contribution and I can ask for support.  If you can spare a dime (or time), below are three organization that you might consider this season and throughout the year(s) – actual donation links are at the bottom of this post

  • Boys/Girls Club (Grant County, Indiana)
  • Big Brothers/Big Sisters (Chicagoland, IL)
  • Habitat For Humanity  (Fox Valley/Elgin, IL)

Note: If you donate, tell’em “thank you!”   We can never pay a blessing back, but we can pass it on or make it better for those who come after us!
