Events

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County now holds three major fundraisers each year. All events are open to the public and everyone is heartily invited to attend and partake in the fun. We have Bowl For Kid's Sake, the Big Food Truck and Brewers Challenge at Roaring Camp Railroads in May, and the Annual Day on the Monterey Bay Regatta hosted by the Santa Cruz Yacht Club.

Bowl For Kids' Sake

Bowl for Kid’s Sake is a special weekend and held in April at the Boardwalk Bowl. It is a fun way to raise money and make a difference in a child’s life. It doesn’t cost you to bowl or rent shoes, you just ask people to sponsor you.

Day on the Monterey Bay Regatta

Day on the Monterey Bay Regatta is sponsored by the Santa Cruz Yacht Club and held at the Santa Cruz Harbor on a Sunday in mid-August. There is a sailboat race and then a party with live music, good food, Silent Auction, and raffle. The Special $100 raffle has 2 fantastic vacation destination trips + airfare as the prize! Only 150 tickets are sold, so your chances of winning are very good.

Make A Match

With the guidance and friendship of caring mentors, children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County are not limited by their circumstances. Mentors help provide children facing adversity the foundation and support to do better in school and make better life choices.

Match of the Year

Each year Big Brothers Big Sisters honors one match who exemplifies our core mission and vision. The award celebrates a Match that shows significant growth and impact in the life of a child in our community.
