  • Organize an independent fundraiser to benefit BBBS

Your neighborhood, church group, school club, fraternity, sorority, social group, workplace, or professional organization can plan and host a fundraising event to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters. This lowers the cost of our fundraising efforts and all of the money donated applies directly to the program expenses for our matches! Contact our CEO or COO for more information.
