“The Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities Fashion show was a wonderful and fun experience for me and my little sisters. They loved having the opportunity to pick out and keep all of their clothing. Having their hair and makeup done was just icing on the cake. Thanks to all the wonderful sponsors that made this this possible and for SCBDD for asking us to be a part of bringing awareness to both Big Brothers and Big Sisters and Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities”
- Jennifer Bruns, Executive Director of Big Brother Big Sisters Shelby and Darke County.
