Big Brothers Big Sisters reaction:
Big Brothers Big Sisters tells us they receive 10 percent of everything Twin City Events sells for them and that is a significant amount.

D.A.R.E. reaction:
A spokesman for D.A.R.E. was upset by what our investigation found. He told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he's demanding changes and is launching his own investigation into what really is going on at Twin City Events.
He says if there is deception at a management level, he'll ask the local office to be shut down.
