60th Annual BIG Gala

Big Gala - Hyatt Regency Seattle

Thank You for Celebrating 60 Years of Mentorship 💫

What an unforgettable night! The 60th Annual BIG Gala at the Hyatt Regency Seattle brought our community together for an evening of Vintage Hollywood Glam — shimmering gowns, timeless elegance, and stories that reminded us why mentorship matters.

For six decades, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound has been igniting the potential of youth across our region. This year’s gala honored that legacy — and celebrated the mentors, supporters, and partners who make it possible to keep changing lives.

Thanks to everyone who joined us, bid generously, and shared in a night filled with purpose, joy, and impact. Your support ensures we can continue to match more Littles with caring Bigs — creating relationships that last a lifetime.

✨ But the mission doesn’t stop here.
Your continued donations fuel the next 60 years of mentorship, helping more young people find the guidance and confidence they deserve.

Together, we’re building a legacy of hope, connection, and potential.

What People Say

Moving from Africa to the U.S. was a big adjustment for me and my daughter. Thanks to Big Brothers Big Sisters and her amazing mentor Bethany, Precious has adapted better, and even our arguments at home have went down.

What I would tell someone considering being a mentor is that it doesn’t take a lot of time. Communication is key!

A Bigs in Tech Mentor

“It’s not really that we’re [Bigs] helping them, its that we are assisting them in accessing the resources they need to make stuff happen. These kids now; they know whats good. They are brilliant and creative. They’re link: Give me an opportunity and I’ll run with it.”

Darnell Big Brother

“My Little has the crayon box, and she just needs help to identify the colors. Yes, being in the corner as a Big is important, but kids are doing the thing. […] Whatever she does next is going to be brilliant. It doesn’t even matter if it takes her a while … like the opportunity to witness that was just like … oh, my gosh.”

Anonymous Big Sister

“Having a Big is awesome! It’s like having this incredible friend who’s got my back, helping me navigate the world, and teaching me valuable life lessons.”

Anonymous High School Little

“Big Brothers Big Sisters has been a blessing in my life. All 3 of my children have had Bigs, and each Big has been just the right person to connect with them.”
