IMPACT
Founded in 1902, Bigs & Littles NYC Mentoring (formerly CBSBB) strives to transform the lives of children through one-to-one mentoring, while strengthening entire families in hardship.
October Ball’s mission for 2018 is to clear the Bigs & Littles NYC waitlist, which has an average of 100 new children every year. It costs $5,000 to support the match annually which directly enables CBSBB to give the child the opportunity to have access to a one to one mentoring relationship with a caring adult role model, professionally guided by a master’s level social worker in addition to life skills group and comprehensive family support.
