Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County recently received more than $1,000 from Lisa Ann and Ann Bell of Spiritquest Productions to help children in need who participate in the mentoring program that was created 27 years ago by the nonprofit’s director Nancy Kosloski.

The program utilizes the talents of West Point cadets who work with the students on a one-to-one basis in their schools. The money was raised during the multibusiness Health and Healing Expo at the Holiday Inn in Middletown.
