Hal Sweasey of Re/Max Del Oro has personally donated over $100,000 to support the youth mentoring organization Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County. A Big Brothers Big Sisters Board Member and donor, Sweasey is the only person in the history of San Luis Obispo County to have reached the milestone of funding 100 years of mentoring for local disadvantaged youth.
At the agency’s recent Shareholder’s Reception at Tolosa Winery, Big Brothers Big Sisters program participants surprised Sweasey with flowers, a trophy and a home-made medallion in the presence of donors, agency staff, board members, program participants and representatives from state and local government.
Sweasey has served on the local board of directors since 1998, twice as president. Big Brothers Big Sisters Executive Director Anna Boyd-Bucy said, “This program would hardly resemble the strong community resource that it is today without Hal’s hard work and dedication.”
