His work through the organization sparked a huge campaign,"Men to Mentor," efforting 75 men in 75 days to become a mentor, specifically targeting Johnson County. "When I think about the fact that we are not able to meet that demand all the time, it does make me sad," Charles Stringer, Volunteer Coordinator, BBBSCI, said.
Maslowski said partnering with BBBSCI fits with the chamber's mission to connect with young people and impact future leaders."We are really eager to help them and help connect them to our students who are raising their hands and saying, we'd love a mentor," Maslowski said.
