When they first met, Cooper was a bit shy, but over time he’s opened up, showing his energetic and funny side. Kevin has become more than just a mentor—he’s a role model and a friend who Cooper looks up to. The two often spend time outdoors, exploring different sports together, with disc golf being a recent favorite. They even hit the park this past summer for a friendly game, enjoying the fun and competition.
Kevin’s influence goes beyond their shared activities; he’s also there for Cooper during life’s tough moments. After a recent hockey game loss, Kevin was right by Cooper’s side, taking him out for dinner to lift his spirits. Cooper shared that having Kevin there made a difference, and he’s grateful for the support Kevin offers both on and off the field. As the hockey season continues, Cooper looks forward to having his Big Brother cheering him on, while Kevin is eager to keep being there, celebrating Cooper’s victories and encouraging him through challenges.
In addition to their love for sports, Kevin and Cooper regularly participate in BBBS events. Recently, they took part in a hands-on engineering activity, building mouse traps, which gave them a taste of the engineering world and a chance to engage with other matches. Kevin enjoys the sense of community these events bring, giving both of them opportunities to grow and learn.
The friendship between Kevin and Cooper exemplifies the joy of shared interests, intergenerational learning, and genuine support. We’re proud to see them growing together and inspiring each other every day. Here’s to many more shared experiences and memories ahead!
