Courage is something we discover in one another.

Our friends at BBBS LA have partnered with LAIKA Studios for The Wildwood Heroes campaign, celebrating the stories of young people whose courage, and resilience remind us of the power of connection.

Our 2025 Courage Award winner Delilah and her Big Sister Amber remind us of the power of mentorship and perseverance. At just 14, Delilah has faced challenges with strength and determination, transforming obstacles into opportunities for growth, leadership, and courage. Together, she and Amber show what’s possible when encouragement and consistency meet resilience and hope.

An enormous “Thank you!” to everyone who joined us, supported us, and brought their heart to this year's Gourmet Dinner. Because of the remarkable generosity throughout the evening, we raised over $500,000 to support youth across San Diego County.

That means more than 200 life-changing matches to be made. Every conversation, raffle ticket, paddle raise, and donation directly empowers local youth with a dedicated Big Brother or Big Sister to guide, advocate for, and support them.

And if you weren’t able to join us in person but still want to support our mission, it’s not too late to help visit our website today to donate or volunteer to be a Big.

It was a wonderful night marking 65 years of energy and inspiration. Cheers to our sponsors, here’s to our hosts, cheers to all of our vendors and staff - and here’s to another 65 years of igniting potential!

💚 . 💚

The last weekend in June saw Bigs and Littles from San Diego attend an incredible Boxing Clinic hosted at the Bloodlines Boxing & Wrestling training center in El Cajon.

The Bloodlines team coached our matches through numerous training drills and had all of our group breaking a sweat. Everyone was amazed at the skill, endurance and athleticism required to step into the ring, and left the gym exhausted, but exhilarated.

🥊A heavyweight shoutout to Bloodlines Boxing & Wrestling for making it all happen.

This visit was a part of the SPORTS BIGS initiative, an extension of our mentoring programs. Through physical activities, Littles build essential interpersonal skills, embrace a growth mindset, and discover the thrill of achievement.
