Big Brothers Big Sisters is exactly the kind of program cities like Talladega need to have to make sure our youths are getting the kind of help and guidance they need to lead happy, productive lives.

The organization has started a program here, thanks in part to help from local and state government officials, law enforcement, CACC, First National Bank, and the Talladega Chamber, and is getting ready for its first major fundraiser.

The event will be Friday, July 31, at the Talladega Bowling Center, which helped organize the fundraiser, and we encourage everyone in the community to come out for an evening of fun to support this worthy cause.
