Out-of-this-world match: Big Brother Gene and Little Brother Brennon

Big Brother Gene and Little Brother Brennon have been matched in BBBS-ETN’s community-based program for one year. Even though Gene roots for the Georgia Bulldogs and Brennon supports the Tennessee Vols, they enjoy going to sporting events together. In fact, if they had a chance to go to outer space, they would name their rocket the “The Georgia Volunteer”.

When they aren’t at a sporting event or doing church activities, they may be at the WJBE radio station. Gene, the station’s Program Director, enjoys bringing Brennon with him to show him what happens being the scenes. Brennon enjoys playing video games and is creative, so he enjoys learning about technology and media!

Since these two are so out-of-this-world, we decided to ask them a few questions about their match (and outer space).

Can you name one thing on your bucket list? We want to go to the Aquarium!
Which planet is your favorite? Saturn, because it is colorful and has rings.
What is your proudest moment as a match? Gene: I am the most proud of Brennon when he passes his tests and makes good grades. He works hard to be a good student.”

Trivia Question: What percent of the Earth equals the size of the moon? Gene and Brennon: “40 percent!”  |  Answer: 27 percent  (Almost! Great guess you two!)

When you Bowl For Kids’ Sake, you help BBBS-ETN make more life-changing matches like Gene and Brennon. This year, BBBS-ETN hopes to match 125 children with a mentor through the funds raised at Bowl For Kids’ Sake.
