FALL 2025 - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western MA

From The CEO

Yet another summer winds down, and the school year begins.

In BBBS world, the summer gave us so many things to be thankful for. It’s been a summer of impact, as our matches continue to inspire each other (and us!) through their regular meet-ups. Plus, we had a fantastic Point 5K, a more than memorable summer picnic, and a little downtime that helps us to re-group and get ready for what’s coming next.

Now, it’s all hands on deck, and we’re ready to continue this great momentum! We look forward to a great fall season and are grateful to have you with us for the ride!

As always, thank you so much to our donors, grantmakers, Bigs, Littles, parents/guardians, event participants, Board of Directors, Advisory Council, and staff! We just couldn’t do all this great work without you.

Warm regards,
David Beturne, CEO

SUMMER FUN AT THE PICNIC

THANK YOU!

Thanks so much to everyone who came out on Saturday, 8/16 to hang out with us in Mittineague Park! The weather was perfect and so was all the company.

And of course, thank you to our donors and sponsors. Because of their generosity, we’re able to put on this great event without pulling funds away from programs. As always, these gifts truly ignite potential in our youth!

BREWS BITES & BIDS: SAVE THE DATE!

One of the area’s best brewing events! We gather about 20 local brewers from throughout the western MA region and then pair their generous samplings with a huge spread of foods. And while sipping on your favorite brews, check out the silent auction and raffle! Both are packed with unique items that you just won’t find anywhere else.

And even more important, supporting this event makes you part of something BIG. All funds raised through sponsorships, ticket sales, and the auction and raffle empower our youth to reach their full potential.

Strengthen your community while having drinks and snacks! It doesn’t get much easier (or more fun!) than that.
