An Elevated Experience.
A Powerful Purpose.
LASTING IMPACT.
Join Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio for an inspiring evening celebrating the power of mentorship and the people who make it possible.
Evening of Impact brings together more than 275 community and corporate leaders, supporters, Bigs and friends of our mission for an unforgettable evening of connection, storytelling, and purpose.

One Evening. Lasting Impact.
Your Impact Goes Beyond the Match.
MENTORSHIP
Your support helps us recruit, screen, train and professionally support Bigs and Littles, creating meaningful relationships that help young people build confidence and reach their potential.
EXPERIENCES
Littles have opportunities to learn and explore beyond their everyday environments, including environmental education experiences at Camp Oty’Okwa and other enrichment opportunities throughout the year.
BIG FUTURES
Through Big Futures, young people gain exposure to careers, develop workforce-readiness skills and begin building plans for life after high school.
Hundreds of young people across Central Ohio are still waiting for a mentor.
Each represents a child ready for connection, encouragement and someone who believes in their potential.

Voices from our community.
“Being a big has shown me that mentorship doesn’t just change Littles, it changes Bigs too… [and] it really has changed my life for the best.”Morgan, A Big Since 2022
“The 2025 Big Night of Bourbon was a great event for a wonderful cause! My wife Krysta and I have been proud BBBS supporters and mentors for years, but this was our first time attending the annual event. Hearing stories from other ‘Bigs’ and ‘Littles’ reminded me of the meaningful impact the organization makes every day, and it was a lot of fun meeting others involved in the organization.”Jonathan, A Big Since 2020
“It’s really a celebration of the spirit of mentorship, community, and a transformative power of connection. Everyday our mentors, our Bigs, show up for their Littles in ways that change lives. We have a wait list of over 500 kids in Central Ohio that want a mentor, that want a Big in their life and are waiting for that connection.”Frank Sasso, Board Chair 2025
One evening can help shape a lifetime.
