We are pleased to announce The BIG Event: A Journey on the Orient Express presented by Wells Fargo on October 4, 2008 at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel was a smashing success! With the help of our generous guests, donors and partners, we raised over $650,000 in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters programs.

Despite the success of the auction, we fell short of our goal to match another 115 children this year. To do this, we need to raise another $150,000. If you’d like to help us reach this goal, please donate here.

We're looking for interested volunteers to meet with a Little Brother or Little Sister at a local elementary school for one hour each week during the school day. Volunteers and kids spend their time together eating lunch, playing board games, doing crafts, working on homework, or just goofing around on the playground. We have mentoring programs in convenient locations for most volunteers in King, Pierce and Jefferson Counties and we welcome volunteers at all of them. Being a School-Based Big is a great way to invest in your community’s future, get to know a local school, and – most importantly – be a friend and mentor to a child who needs one!
