Tyrese and Lanae, siblings in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC program, were living apart in different foster homes.  They didn't know it, but they were about to be reunited at our annual Gridiron Games.  “I gave her a big hug and I was really happy”, Tyrese says. “When I left I was really sad but because of Big Brothers Big Sisters, I’m going to see her again. ”
