Little Change for BIG Change

Help support over 600 children and youth in our community!

It’s that time of year again! The ‘Little Change for BIG Change’ (LCBC) campaign runs in the summer and we’re so excited for another amazing year! Our ‘Little Change for BIG Change’ Campaign strives to raise awareness about BBBSG in the community and the need for ‘Bigs’ to volunteer with our mentorship programs. This campaign strives to collect little change from local community members that will help fund BIG change allowing our mentorship programs to continue to thrive!

LCBC Components

State & Main DINE & DONATE

Kicking off our annual Little Change for BIG Change campaign, is the Dine & Donate event with State & Main Kitchen + Bar in Guelph! Join us for a one day only in support of a great cause! On Monday, June 15th, dine at State & Main and help make a difference in the lives of local young people. We have over 100 children and youth waiting to be matched with a mentor who will help them realize their full potential!

Gather your friends, family, or co-workers and enjoy an amazing meal knowing that 10% of proceeds will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph to support mentoring relationships that empower youth to reach their full potential.

Reserve your table today at State & Main (79 Clair Road East, Guelph) by calling to make a reservation over the phone or online through State & Main’s Open Table and be sure to mention you’re dining in support of BBBS of Guelph when booking!

Valet Car Wash (North End) Fundraiser

Valet Car Wash (Woodlawn Rd) is hosting a ONE DAY only single car wash fundraiser to support youth in our mentoring programs on Saturday, June 20th! To support, purchase any level of car wash and a portion of proceeds will go toward our volunteer recruitment strategies so we are able to match more youth who are on our waitlist with a caring and consistent mentor.

Make a difference today (and give your car a much needed shine)!
