Why Become a BBBS Big Benefits Partner?

At Big Brothers Big Sisters, mentorship happens in everyday moments — sharing a meal, trying a new activity, exploring the community, or simply spending quality time together. But for many of the children and families we serve, access to recreational opportunities and dining experiences can be financially out of reach.

That’s where our Big Benefits Program makes a meaningful difference.

Through Big Benefits, local businesses generously provide discounted or complimentary activities, meals, tickets, or experiences for our matched Bigs and Littles. These donations help create opportunities for mentors and youth to build strong, lasting relationships through fun, engaging, and memorable experiences in our community.

Why Your Business Participation Matters

When a Match has access to free or low-cost activities, it removes barriers that can sometimes make mentoring feel difficult or limited. A simple gesture, like a discounted bowling pass, free ice cream, museum admission, or recreational activity, can open the door to meaningful conversations, confidence-building experiences, and lifelong memories for a child.

Your support helps:

• Strengthen mentoring relationships
• Increase access to healthy, positive activities for youth
• Encourage community connection and belonging
• Reduce financial stress for volunteer mentors and families
• Create opportunities for children to explore new interests and experiences

Benefits to Your Business

Participating in Big Benefits is also a powerful way for businesses to invest directly in local youth while strengthening their community presence.

As a Big Benefits Partner, your business:

• Demonstrates a commitment to supporting local children and families
• Gains positive visibility through BBBS promotions, social media, and community recognition
• Welcomes loyal community members who value businesses that give back
• Becomes part of a network working together to defend the potential of local youth

Most importantly, your business becomes part of the story behind a child feeling seen, supported, and encouraged.

Whether you can offer a one-time experience, ongoing discount, seasonal passes, or donated items, every contribution helps create stronger mentorship experiences and brighter futures for young people in our community.

Together, we can ensure that every Match has opportunities to connect, grow, and thrive.
