He knows that not every young boy grows up in that kind of family, so last March, Bostick decided to become a volunteer in the Bozeman area Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. Friday morning, the Montana State football team hosted a flurry of activities for youngsters from the organization, some who have been on a waiting list for a Big Brother for over a year.
“I want to get out and give back to the Bozeman community, but I also want to give a young kid a chance to hang out with a big brother,” Bostick said. “I’ve been a big brother in the program since March and I really enjoy spending time with him. We play video games, go to movies, or just hang out.”
The day of play was a voluntary activity for the Bobcats, but 57 of the players showed up to entertain the 14-plus youngsters and their family members. The day began with drills with the team on the practice field and was followed by tours of the facilities, lunch, and an autograph session at the stadium.
“This is a great opportunity for these guys to see what it’s like to make these little guys happy. There were a lot of smiles out there today,” said John Taylor, Academic Services assistant and former Bobcat football player.
Senior captain linebacker Will Clagget added, “When I was a kid, this was the kind of thing I really loved—hanging out with older guys I could look up to. So, I wasn’t going to miss out on this.”
