A 50th Anniversary reception was held on February 11th, 2024, with the honor of attendance of Mr. Rodney Laubhan. Mr. Laubhan was the champion who convinced our community of the need of a Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Hereford after he and fellow Kiwanis Club members attended a conference and heard about the benefits of a BBBS mentoring program. BBBS of Hereford was officially open for business on January 1, 1974, after a year of convincing community leaders and organizations of the need and benefits of a BBBS in Hereford. BBBS of Hereford has also been a beneficiary of United Way funding for 50 years.
