Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sheridan is an organization geared toward improving the lives of children through partnering older male and female mentors, or “Bigs”, with children known as “littles”, who may otherwise not have a strong male or female presence in their life.
For many of us, as we grew up there was one person who made a difference. It can be anyone; a parent, teacher or perhaps an older sibling. Maybe they found a spark within you and put you on the path that you are on professionally. Maybe they put you back on the right path after finding you walking down the wrong one. Image what your life would be like without that one person.
Following a public hearing during their meeting this week, Sheridan County commissioners voted to submit applications for $70,000 in grants for Compass Center for Families and Greater Wyoming Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sheridan County for 2022.
The fund awards were based on requests from the two organizations, with Compass receiving $55,000 and Big Brothers Big Sisters $15,000. Funds are awarded annually through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Community Partnership Initiative.
Renee Obermueller, the county’s administrative director, said availability of the program was advertised, and Compass and Big Brothers Big Sisters were the only two applicants.
Motions were made by Commissioner Tom Ringley.
Tom Hurley wanted to give back to the community. During a Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Hurley met Director of Community Engagement for Big Brothers Big Sisters Sandy Thiel.
The meeting began a chain of events that would introduce Hurley to then 10 year old, Joe Dillion.
Joe lived at home with his mother, Kelly Dillion, and his two sisters. Kelly felt Joe needed a positive male role model that would take him fishing, hunting and camping.

Hurley and Joe became a big brother-little brother pair. The organization refers to them as Bigs and Littles.
Joe is now 16 years old. The relationship has lasted life changes. Hurley was a single man when he first became a Big, now he’s a husband and father to his own children.
