Zach Hokett and Bryce Hammond were arranged as Big and Little when Bryce was just nine years old. Before their relationship blossomed into what it is today, Bryce’s mother wanted her son to find someone as a role model while he was growing up, meanwhile Zach was interested in getting involved with his community and give back to children. As Big Brothers Big Sisters was able to pair up these two gentlemen, they both had no idea what was in store for them. For two years now, Hokett and Bryce were able to complete their emptiness by becoming the ideal big and little for the program. Both big and little would engage in several activities weekly together, such as attending Seahawks games or going to the bowling alley, going hiking but mostly just chatting away about their own lives. The program has allowed both boys to not only fulfill what they hoped to receive from one another, but also given them an opportunity to give back to the community as their bonding experiences continued. The relationship between Zach and Bryce is exactly what the Big Brothers Big Sisters program hopes to accomplish.
