Join us for our largest fundraising event, our annual Gala! This year’s BIG event takes place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Event Center, Saturday, September 27 from 6-10pm. Our #BigBash will include a delicious dinner, an inspiring program, entertainment, and exciting auctions. We encourage cocktail or ‘elegantly creative’ attire to match our theme.
Celebrate our mission empowering kids through impactful mentoring relationships across the Tampa Bay region.
It costs close to $2,000 to provide a child with a mentor for one year—covering background checks and ongoing support services that are the key to ensuring that each match between a Big and a Little will be successful. Last year, 97% of the kids in our program went on to the next grade level and 99% had no involvement with the juvenile justice system. For the children we serve, the impact of your financial support can last a lifetime. With your help, more children and youth facing adversity in our community will have a caring adult role model in their lives—and a much better chance of fulfilling their potential.

Our friends came along for the ride as we traveled back to 1964, celebrating six decades of empowering kids in Tampa through impactful mentoring relationships. Fast forward to 2024, where we continued to serve thousands of youth, making a significant impact across the Tampa Bay region — investing in the future and discovering where (and when!) our journey takes us.
We had a great time on a BIG ride making difference in the lives of countless kids!
