As a Big Sister and Chair of the Impact Committee, I’m thrilled to share some key dates you won’t want to miss in 2025!
Our greatest need right now is for Bigs—especially Big Brothers. I invite you to join us for a Volunteer Information Session at Ballast Point on Thursday, March 6th. Let’s share a pint and chat about the life-changing experience of becoming a Big. Speaking from my own journey, being a Big has truly expanded my family.
This year, I was honored to celebrate my Little’s Quinceañera (15th birthday) with her family—an unforgettable reminder of the deep connections this program fosters. Becoming a Big has added a level of fulfillment to my life that I never knew was missing.

Beyond mentorship, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County has an exciting lineup of events in 2025, and we want YOU to be part of the fun! Whether you love getting active, enjoying a day on the golf course, or celebrating with an elegant evening, we have something for everyone.
