As a founder of the Youth Service Bureau (YSB), the organization which operates Big Brothers Big Sisters, Judge R. Paul Campbell initiated this fund as one of his first foundation projects. In 2010 when Executive Director Norma Keller retired after almost 30 years at YSB, the gifts honoring her service were added to this fund. The endowment provides an important mechanism for the Big Brother Big Sister Program to decrease its dependence upon government funding, with annual earnings applied to ongoing program expenses. Big Brothers Big Sisters has been the leader in one-to-one youth-service for nearly a century with proven success in creating positive friendships that benefit children, volunteers, families, neighborhoods, and the community!
