July 10, 2012 - PRLog -- PITTSBURGH, PA (July 24, 2012)– To assist in the recruitment of mentors for at-risk youth, Ryan Potter, Star of Nickelodeon’s “Supah Ninjas” [http://www.nick.com/shows/supah-ninjas], will be joining BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS
OF BEAVER COUNTY at PNC Park when the Pittsburgh Pirates take on the Chicago Cubs.  

Ryan is hoping to reach the thousands in attendance, with the help of the Pirates organization, to deliver a message that the agency is searching for adult mentors.  

The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Beaver County’s goal for 2012 is to recruit 100 new mentors to help reduce the number of children on the waiting to be matched list.  There are 90 children on the waiting list that are waiting for their Big Brother, Sister, or Couple… waiting for their success story.  

The agency is currently working with the Pirates organization to come up with a way to engage the crowd at PNC Park on the 24th so anyone interested in becoming a mentor can contact the agency to get started.
