Dream Big Fall Gala

October 20, 2022

It was a crisp and perfect fall evening for our Dream Big event as the Old Oaks Country Club welcomed us to their magnificent historical Purchase clubhouse. 

Guests gathered to sip cocktails and sample the bountiful appetizers as they bid lively at the silent auction before sitting down to dinner honoring our 2022 Match of the Year, Big Brother Arthur and Little Brother Damon. Back by popular demand, world-renowned magician and mentalist Benjamin Levy capped off the evening with another memorably mind-bending performance.

Thank you to our incredible Platinum Sponsors Sydney & Robert Kindler and Jackie & Rich Meisenberg; Gold Sponsors Tracey ​& ​Mark Bilski​, Brian Hesse and The Vranos Family Foundation; Silver Sponsors Deborah & David Boillot, Rosana​ &​ Christopher​ Colliniates and Ann & David Yaspan; and Bronze Sponsors Ebonette Bates Hudson, Gregg Cartagine & Reed Chaikin and Mercury Resources, as well as everyone who bid so generously at our Silent and Live Auctions.

Thank you also to Jeff Cadge of Cadge Productions for such a moving video, to Fred Galloway and the Soul Fusion Band for kicking off the party with such a delightful vibe, to Jimmy the Baker for the decadent take-home goodie bag treats, to our volunteer auctioneer Brian Hesse — aluminum company CEO and BBBS Board Chair by day, fundraiser extraordinaire by night — and to our phenomenal staff, program managers and tireless volunteers.

Summer Games

July 16, 2022

Our 2022 Summer Games were a delight, from the moment the first Bigs, Littles and their families arrived at Crawford Park to the last inning of our traditional pick-up softball game. The weather was perfect — not too hot but warm with smiles, laughter, games, prizes, great food, lively music and our legendary summer reading book table.

And did we mention board member Nick Wolff’s guest appearance as the “cotton candy man” and Living Word Christian Church’s incredible generosity in supplying back-to-school backpacks for every child?

Bowl for Kids’ Sake

June 7, 2022

Our first Bowl for Kids’ Sake fundraiser since 2019 came rolling back on Tuesday, June 7th at Bowlero Lanes in White Plains and it was a striking success! This beloved community event—sidelined for two years by Covid restrictions—attracted Bigs, Littles and teams of all ages, from our top fundraisers, the Gutter Girls, to Every Strike Counts, the Lucky Strikes, the High Rollers and Split Happens.

This year’s event raised nearly $20,000 for our Big Futures Program, which provides educational and career counseling to our high school Littles during the school year and structured internship opportunities for our rising seniors and college-age Littles during the summer.

Thank you to our sponsors—PerenniAL, Rakow Commercial Realty Group, RPW Group, Simone Development Companies and Ebonette Bates Hudson—and to all of our donors and participants. Your enthusiasm and generosity truly bowled us over and we are very grateful for your support!
