Field Day was a BLAST!

The High School Bigs program at Rama Rd wrapped up the year with a fun-filled Field Day, packed with games, laughter, and memories. Students rotated through a variety of exciting activities, cooled off with refreshing ice pops, and celebrated the close of a fantastic year.

A huge congratulations to our graduating seniors! Thank you for your time, dedication, and for making a lasting impact on your Little. We can’t wait to see all the amazing places you’ll go — just like Dr. Seuss said!

Special thanks to Big Sister Mary Owen and her classmates from the IB program at Charlotte Country Day School for creating thoughtful goodie bags for all our Littles. Thank you to Big Brother Adam Derbidge and the Marketing and Public Relations team at Ally for providing end-of-year gifts for our Bigs. Your generosity and support mean the world to us!

Teen Craft Night Out was a success!

Matches with Littles ages 13 and up came out for a Teen Craft Night Out. Matches socialized with one another and enjoyed pizza while they completed multi-media vision boards at the North County Regional Library.

TEEN NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM!

Come join us for the next teen night out while we continue to tap into our creativity at the Mint Museum Randolph!

LET'S CELEBRATE!

Our site-based programs at Coltrane-Webb and Forest Park Elementary schools had a fantastic time at our end of year party! Bigs and Littles ate pizza, sushi, and cookies while reflecting on their goals for the year and all the fun they’ve had eating lunch with their mentors. We can’t wait to see them again in the fall!
