Preston Bair
Preston Bair, February United Way Volunteer of the Month!
Preston Bair, who volunteers for Big Brother Big Sisters (BBBS), has
been named the United Way of Coshocton County Volunteer of the Month for
February. Bair was nominated by Sheila Mayse, Executive Director of BBBS.
Bair has volunteered as a board member for BBBS for more than a decade.
Having served two six year term limits, Bair has devoted himself to the
agency’s mission of providing mentoring to children throughout Coshocton
County. In addition to serving as Board Treasurer, Preston also offered
to be a “Buddy for a Day” in order for children on the waiting list to
be able to participate as well.
“Preston’s service has been invaluable. Preston has helped our agency
through several difficult transitions, including changes in leadership
as well as changes in location, states Mayse.”
In addition to his service to BBBS, Bair is also an active Rotarian. He
has two children, Preston Jr. and Peyton.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is currently recruiting enthusiastic volunteer board members interested in developing programs, volunteers and fundraising strategies. Please call 623-8001 for more information about how you can become involved with Big Brother Big Sisters!
