THANKS FOR JOINING US AT THE 2024 BUILDING BIG BRIDGES GALA!

In September 2024, over 380 supporters gathered at the Hyatt Regency to Build BIG Bridges and to celebrate the impact of mentoring! Together, these donors, sponsors, friends, and community leaders were inspired to give over $500,000—our largest amount ever raised—to support one-to-one mentoring programs right here in Portland and Southwest Washington. These funds will allow us to create more matches to uplift and defend the potential of every child who needs someone to listen, support, and be a friend.

From everyone at Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest, thank you for making this event successful and for helping us continue to build BIG bridges!

If you couldn’t make it to the Gala but still want to donate, it’s not too late! Click the link below to make a gift.
