What's The Big Idea? MENTORING! It's a simple concept - match one adult with one child, and the results are BIG! By providing a mentor for every child who needs or wants one, Big Brothers Big Sisters is creating a promising future for our youth and our community. That's The Big Idea

Join us on Friday, June 9th for The Big Idea Gala in celebration of mentoring and the impact of Big Brothers Big Sisters in our communities. 

The evening will begin with a cocktail reception and will feature live music, silent and chance auctions, followed by dinner and a program to recognize our honorees and Bigs and Littles of the Year! A live auction will feature the opportunity to
"Make-A-Match" where attendees can pledge the cost of matching a child with a caring, adult mentor and for professional supervision of the match for the first year. The Big Idea Gala will be followed by The After Party at Bar Bella to keep the fun going in style!
