We were excited to work with Zarda BBQ & Catering and Hy-Vee for another baseball season – and Hunter Renfroe his amazing sandwich! During the 2024 Kansas City Royals baseball season, a portion of proceeds from the sale of Hunter’s Royale with Cheese benefited Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City. The continued partnership between Zarda and Hy-Vee has raised nearly $90,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City in the last three years. All funds raised from this campaign will go to help match some of our 250 waiting Littles with caring, adult mentors.

This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we proudly celebrate the legacy of Indigenous peoples who have shaped our nation's history and land for countless generations. Their wisdom, rooted in community, healing, and resilience, inspires us! With the guidance of our Native American Bigs and Littles, we’re not just learning—we’re building lasting bridges of understanding. Together, we honor their strength, embrace our shared heritage, and work toward a brighter, more inclusive future. #BiggerTogether #BeBig

For many kids, the holidays bring joy and excitement, but for others, it’s a reminder of what they’re still waiting for—like the chance to be matched with a Big. Jaylen waited almost two years before finally being matched with his Big Brother, Chris. The two bonded instantly over their love of video games, and their connection has been life-changing! But Jaylen’s story is just one of over 250 Littles still waiting for their Big. You can help give Littles the mentors they need. Here’s how your gift can make an impact: ?? $100 covers 3 Match meetings for waiting Littles ?? $234 helps recruit a new Big ?? $500 supports a Big and Little for one year ?? MAKE A GIFT TODAY and help match more Littles like Jaylen: bbbskc.org/give/

A huge thank you to our November sponsors of the month! Your commitment to our mission empowers meaningful connections and lasting impact in our community. Thank you for standing with us to create brighter futures!
