Jacksonville – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Florida has been serving the community for 112 years and is part of the nation’s oldest and largest mentoring organization, dedicated to defending and igniting the potential of young people through its School-Based, Beyond School Walls, and Community-Based mentoring programs.
During Big Brothers Big Sisters Month this September, the organization is celebrating the life-changing power of mentorship while encouraging community members to become Bigs, reconnect as alumni, share their stories, volunteer, or donate to support local youth.
The agency recently celebrated with its entire BBBS Village at a Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp game and will continue the festivities with Musical Bingo at Culhane’s and its signature Margarita J’Ville fundraiser on Saturday, September 26, featuring live music, waterfront views, margaritas, mocktails, raffles, auctions, and more at Mavi Waterfront Bar and Grill.
