Be A Hero – Monthly Giving

This Holiday Season, join in the spirit of giving to children and youth in need!

Each year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-West Durham provides mentorship to over 1,200 children with the support of 140 mentors. Our volunteer mentors are passionate, committed and caring members of the community.  Mentors give back in the community by supporting children both one-to-one and in fun group settings.

Your support means more mentors for more children in need!

Bowl For Kids Sake

Bowl for Kids Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters’ premier fun-raising event where people like you get together with friends, family, and co-workers and have a fun time bowling in support of Big Brother Big Sister mentoring programs in your community.

Run Your Own Event

These events are organized by you or your community group (e.g. school groups, unions, or corporations) to help raise funds necessary for Big Brothers Big Sisters to operate and ensure that every child gains the confidence to achieve more through a mentoring relationship.

An event can be any activity by a non-affiliated group or individual. Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-West Durham has no fiduciary responsibility and little or no staff involvement, however, we will support you and your event as much as possible to help it be a success. Event examples include: A “something”-a-thon, Raffles, Auctions, Parties, Video Game Fundraising Models – “something-for-kids-sake”.
