Each spring, our community gathers for one powerful and inspiring morning: BIG Breakfast – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound’s annual celebration of mentorship.
More than just a fundraising event, BIG Breakfast brings together over 300 corporate leaders, mentors, board members, and community champions who believe in one simple idea: every young person deserves someone in their corner. It’s a space where stories are shared, impact is honored, and our region commits to building brighter futures through mentorship.
Looking Back: 2025 Bigs & Littles of the Year
At our 2025 BIG Breakfast, we proudly honored four extraordinary matches as our Bigs & Littles of the Year, each one a powerful example of what consistent mentorship can do.
- Big Ben & Little Joel: What started with basketball grew into six years of encouragement, academic growth, and big dreams. Last year, Joel was accepted into 12 colleges, a milestone supported by Ben’s steady presence and belief in his potential.
- Big Raghav & Little Gabriel: Built on laughter and brotherhood, their match shows how simply showing up can build confidence, joy, and a sense of belonging.
- Big Mike & Little Mustapha: Connected through our Bigs in Tech program, their bond grew far beyond career exploration into trust, resilience, and friendship.
- Big Alex & Little Olivia: Through music, comics, and creativity, they discovered the power of authenticity, a reminder that mentorship often starts with saying, “You are enough.”
Each of these matches reflects the heart of our mission: one relationship can transform two lives.
