Big impact gala

The Gala is more than a night of celebration—it’s a chance to shine a light on the power of mentoring and make a real difference in the lives of local youth. With your support, we aim to raise $100,000 to help children on our waitlist gain access to one-to-one mentorship, providing the guidance, encouragement, and opportunities they need to keep moving forward and reach their full potential.

Don’t miss this premier charity event of the region and join the ranks of high-profile partners such as U.S. Steel Granite City Works, Ameren Illinois, Holland Construction, J.F. Electric, and The Boeing Company. Together, we can celebrate the stars who make our mission possible—our Bigs, Littles, and supporters—while ensuring more young people have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, stay on track in school, avoid risky behaviors, and pursue a bright future beyond graduation.

Your support helps put more kids in the spotlight—and gives them the opportunity to shine.

So grab your ticket, or better yet, reserve a table for you and your friends for a night that’s sure to be full of surprises!
