Jonathan and Mahki are bowling at 300 Long Island in Melville with their big sister Alma and brother Dan, respectively. Alma and Dan aren't related to them, however, but they are family in a different sense. They are members of Big Brothers Big Sisters. The group's Long Island branch helps over 300 children between the ages of seven and 14 who are in need of a positive role model. Jessica Fragoso heads to the lanes to learn about Jonathan and Mahki's experiences with their bigs and what got Alma and Dan inspired to guide their littles.
