Free, Fun, and Full of Connection.
Every match activity is a chance for Bigs and Littles to spend quality time together, to laugh, explore, try something new, and build a stronger bond. These events are all about connection, shared experiences, and creating memories that last a life time.
Here’s a look at the fun we’ve had so far in 2025 — and there’s plenty more to come!
January – Ice Skating
We kicked off the year with chilly cheeks and warm hearts on the ice! Bigs and Littles hit the rink for an afternoon of gliding (and giggling) at our ice-skating event. Whether it was their first time or not, it was full of joy and unforgettable moments.

February – Tinkertopia
February was all about creativity and imagination. Matches explored the colorful, hands-on world of Tinkertopia. They spent their time building wild inventions, repurposing materials, and dreaming up new creations together.

March – Snowshoeing
Bigs and Littles went on a snowy adventure in March! Together, we trekked through scenic trails, took in the winter views, and shared the magic of being out in nature.

May
- Old McDebbie’s Farm: In May, we got a little muddy and a lot happy at Old McDebbie’s Farm. Bigs and Littles pet animals, fed them and spent the day laughing and learning about farm life together.

- Graduation Celebration
We also came together to celebrate our incredible graduating Littles — a proud and emotional moment for matches who’ve shared years of growth, learning, and support. We awarded the Deloitte Scholarship to outstanding Littles who have shown high performance in school. Hats off to a bright future ahead!

July – Archery Event
Our most recent match activity hit the mark! Bigs and Littles stepped into the world of archery and tried their hand at hitting the target. With plenty of high-fives, encouragement, and laughter, it was an empowering and unforgettable day.

More Fun to Come…
These events are always free for our active Bigs and Littles, and each one is designed to make space for joy, growth, and shared experiences.
To everyone who’s joined us so far — thank you for making this year so special. And if you haven’t yet, don’t worry… the best is still ahead!
Special thanks to our program manager, Mattie Mercado, for her hard work in coordinating and managing our match activities! 💚
