THE BIG GALA - A CELEBRATION OF MENTORING!

Join us for The BIG Gala - our largest fundraiser of the year! Celebrate our Matches of the Year, be inspired by stories our program and participate in our world-class Voice and Silent Auctions! And the best part - every penny we raise stays right here in Milwaukee, helping the youth of our program.

Big Brothers Big Sisters delivers positive outcomes for youth facing adversity in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.  Every day, we see youth grow and strengthen relationships with mentors that change the trajectory of their lives.

Last year, children in our one-to-one mentoring program achieved the following:

  • 91% of seniors graduated from high school.
  • 83% of students maintained or improved their grades.
  • 82% maintained or improved their sense of trust and connectedness with their parents.
  • 98% did not use alcohol, drugs, or tobacco.
  • 99% of avoided involvement in the juvenile justice system.
