This year’s Spring event was different from the previous. Big Sisters’ annual Spring Lunch was reimagined and renamed to Spring Social.On behalf of Big Sisters and the youth we serve, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for those who attended our 2022 Spring Social event. This year we raised close to $57,000, and we couldn’t have done it without you.From networking with likeminded individuals to cocktail delights masterfully designed by the Joey Restaurant, we hope you had as much fun as we did! We would like to thank our compelling speaker Amelia Warren, and our wonderful host Jennifer Palma.We hope to see you at next year’s event.
 

Congratulations to the Big Heart Award winners: Media Button

Big Sisters is proud to honour Media Button with your Big Heart Award.  For 5 years, Media Button has been a valued partner in creating videos that elevate the voices of the youth Big Sisters’ serves and demonstrates the impact of the Agency’s work.  They have approached this work with compassion and care, giving freely of their expertise and genuinely trying to understand the goals Big Sisters is trying to achieve.  

In 2020, when we realized that we would not be able to hold in person gatherings and that we would have to raise 50% of the operating budget through virtual events they were the first to reach out to ask how they could help.  They produced 2020’s virtual Soirée, which raised over $1,000,000 as well as Spring Lunch and Grape Juice.  The fundraising team simply could not have executed these events without them.  

Throughout our partnership, they have regularly given unconditionally of their time and expertise.  Jen Araki, Randall Robinson, Henry Hayhurst-France, Lynette Garrison and the rest of the team at Media Button are truly part of the Big Sisters family and deserving of this recognition.

Thank you to our 2022 Sponsors
