Holiday Party in the Park
December 4, 2011
Sponsored by JM Family Enterprises, this party is held before children leave school for winter break and is held in conjunction with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward's Share the Seasons campaign, in which toys, clothes, gifts and necessities are collected for our high-need families and given as holiday presents. The holiday party is an opportunity for all of our children and families to get together, celebrate and learn about the different cultures our diverse group represents.

Fishing Tournament
Join us for our 33rd Annual Fishing Tournament on Saturday, June 2, 2012. This event, which takes place the first Saturday every June, has been around almost as long as the agency itself! We take advantage of the beautiful waters surrounding us and rain or shine, we gather wonderful boat captains who volunteer themselves and their boats for the day and get children, parents and volunteers on board for a day of fishing fun. There are prizes awarded at the end of the day for biggest fish, smallest fish and largest number of fish caught by one child. This day is always a sold-out success, as it has been for 33 years! Check out the pictures from our 2011 Tournament.
For more information on the Fishing Tournament, contact Nancy Park.
Hot Summer School Cool Picnic
HSCS is our annual back-to-school party. All the children in our program are invited to bring their families and Bigs to the party to eat, play and interact with each other. Each child enrolled in Big Brothers Big Sisters is given an age-appropriate backpack filled with enough school supplies to last them through the year. Donors and community partners generously contribute backpacks, and we have a partnership with Publix Super Markets in which individuals throughout Broward County can purchase or donate school supplies for the children we serve.
We need more backpacks for children in our programs! Now more than ever, the children we serve need your help. If you would like to donate a new backpack, please contact Amanda Lachs. Your donation will provide a child with the essential supplies they need to succeed in school. To view photos from our last Hot Summer Cool School Picnic, click here.
