Big Brother Tim Frost and his 11-year old Little Brother Brian have been matched for 2 years. Tim, an Analyst in Account Operations with BlueCross BlueShield of WNY, became a Big Brother because he wanted to make a positive impact in a child's life. He and his Little Brother Brian enjoy a number of activities that are simple yet fun. Tim shared, "We like cooking breakfast for dinner at my place, going to Bisons games during the summer and ice skating at Rotary Rink during the winter. Other than that we enjoy anything that involves taking the train downtown or includes grabbing some pizza."

Just last year, Tim took his Little Brother ice-skating for the first time and he loved it. Little Brother Brian also shared that he also had a great time visiting Tim's parents house. He explained, "We went for a hike and we built a campfire. It was my first time doing something like that and it was a lot of fun!"

When asked what he likes most about being a Big Brother Tim shared, "Knowing that every time Brian and I hang out is an occasion, and that there's no such thing as a typical night out. I honestly can't imagine the past two years without having met Brian. I'm amazed at how open and respectful he's become, and I'm looking forward to many more years to come."
