The BIG Event
Last year was incredible for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Fond du Lac County. We settled into a new building, expanded important mentoring programs, launched a capital campaign, and served an increasing number of youth. Please join us in celebrating a year of growth and connection at The BIG Event presented by Shea Electric & Communications LLC at Hotel Retlaw in Fond du Lac on Thursday, July 9, 2026!
Featuring:
Local celebrity mixologist competition with one-of-a-kind cocktail creations
Dinner special
Terrific silent auction items available online
Special live auction packages presented at the event
Recognition of our Big of the Year
“Box of Rocks” is back with your chance to win a gorgeous piece of jewelry donated by The Goldsmith
Come place your bids and help local kids! All proceeds stay right in our community to support local youth with powerful mentoring relationships. Funds raised at The BIG Event help us enroll children into our program, connect matches with activities, train new volunteers, maintain monthly match support check-ins, move children off the waiting list, and support our ever-expanding group mentoring opportunities.
Tickets are $150, including a dinner special with the opportunity to sample mixologist cocktails. Individuals and companies alike can purchase tickets to attend the gala or reserve a table for groups. Please call (920) 922-8200 or email amy.docter@bbbsfdl.org with any questions.
