CAR RAFFLE SOLD OUT. 1,951 TICKETS!

First-time ticket buyer, Tara Reddington, was the grand prize winner of our 34th Annual Car Raffle! When a friend shared the raffle information with Tara, who says she “never wins anything,” Tara knew immediately that she had to enter this year’s raffle. Tara’s daughter passed away three years ago, and her birthday was the same day as the raffle. Her daughter’s favorite color had been purple. When Tara saw that we were raffling off a purple car and the winner would be drawn on her daughter’s birthday, she asked for a sign…and she got it.

We brought back Winter Wonderland and our Summer Picnic for the first time since 2019!

Over the summer, six Junior Advisory Board members worked for Big Sister as part of a paid internship program!

Teens participated in financial literacy workshops, career exposure opportunities at local companies, team building and training, and developed a strategic plan to grow participation, community, and fundraising campaigns.

HOLIDAY GIVING 2022 WAS A SUCCESS!

The Big Sister community raised $4,850 to purchase gift cards for 122 families. We also received 43 coats for Little Sisters through our Coat Drive!
