22nd Annual Art of Helping Children Gala

Please join us ONLINE for our VIRTUAL Gala celebration where you’ll enjoy an inspiring program, exciting auction* items, and entertainment. Make a BIG impact and help raise the critical dollars needed to sustain our mentoring programs for the 3,000 children we serve annually across our nine-counties.

Tune in for our online program to learn more about our pivot to virtual mentoring during the pandemic and maintaining our positive, measurable results.

It costs about $1,500 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.

 

*Indicates that 100% of auction items #1-499 goes to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay, Inc.

Grab your virtual passport but make sure you’re prepared for the evening with the perfect Aussie dinner from Outback Steakhouse – available for pickup or delivery. Visit www.outback.com
