Towson magazine, winter 2007: At Big Brothers Big Sisters, Robin Tomechko, a 1986 Towson University graduate, turns the vision of helping a child into an everyday reality. Here's a blurb of the article I wrote about Tomechko for Towson magazine.
Robin Tomechko's organization helped 1,750 at-risk children in the Baltimore area last year, a 483 percent increase since she took her job eight years ago. So why isn't she satisfied?
"Our goal is to serve 2,000 kids this year," says Tomechko, president and CEO of Baltimore-based Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Maryland. "But when I look at the statistics and see that there are 60,000 kids in this area who are at risk and need these types of services, serving 2,000 doesn't say much to me. If we could serve 5,000 or 6,000, that would be at least the tip of the iceberg."
