IMPACT OF BENEFIT DINNER

Since 1978, the Annual Benefit Dinner has played an important role placing Bigs into the lives of local children.
Bigs defend the potential of the children they mentor. Bigs and Littles develop one-to-one friendships that ignite the power and promise of youth in our community.

By supporting the Annual Benefit Dinner, you play an important role in ensuring the success of our one-to-one mentoring programs. Funds from Benefit Dinner go toward recruiting new Bigs (mentors), to matching them with a Little (mentee), and then providing professional support for the life of the match. When you support Benefit Dinner, you defend potential.
