This #GivingTuesday, you choose how you give! Whether you give your time, a monetary donation, or physical gift, your support is so valuable to our future mentoring and club programming.

All of you—each and every one of you—never fail to remind our children, youth and families that you walk alongside them, no matter how trying the times might be. Together, we’re changing the lives of children and youth with one conversation, one experience, one donation or gift, and one mentor at a time.

Here are 3 ways to give or get involved with BGCBigs this Giving Tuesday!

 

Lobster Lovers Fundraiser

Help Us Reach Our Fundraising Goal of $90,000

Our loyal supporter and presenting sponsor, Flaman Foundation, will match all 2023 Lobster Lovers Fundraising event donations dollar for dollar up to $30,000. You may remember, it costs us $1 to provide 1 meal to a child and that has been part of our event every year. However, with inflation, the cost has gone up to $1.20 per meal, and the need is even greater than before, with food insecurity being a grat concern for our families. Help us achieve our fundraising goal—donate online today by clicking here.
