2025 Bigs BINGO! A Successful night of Finding Future Bigs at Squeeze In 

he atmosphere inside Squeeze In last night for our 2025 Bigs BINGO was electric! Smelling of our favorite breakfast-for-dinner appetizers and charged with friendly competition we couldn’t have asked for a better night fueling Mentorship. 

The room was packed with our community from current Bigs sharing their life-changing match stories and volunteers eager to start their journey, to prospective mentors who came curious and left inspired. The event was a beautiful balance of networking, celebration, and competition all dedicated to finding more people ready to Defend Potential. 

2025 Bigs BINGO: Building the Mentor Network 

For five rounds, the room buzzed with focused anticipation, and as the night went on, the competition intensified. Attendees cheered not just for themselves, but for the community spirit filling the room. 

The grand finale saw three lucky winners claim special door prizes, culminating with one very excited winner rolling away with the fantastic Broil King Porta Chef 120 grill! 

Current Bigs Welcome New Faces 

But the real highlight wasn’t the BINGO, it was the conversations between rounds. Current Bigs spoke passionately about the “little moments” that make their commitment worthwhile. It was a firsthand demonstration of the supportive network new Bigs join. 

“Last night I went to the Big Brothers Big Sisters bingo event with my mother and her “Bingo Mafia” group. It was a fun night and a great chance to spend time with people who give so much to our community by volunteering as Bigs. The energy in the room made it clear how much this program means to the families it supports. We had a great time and if you missed it I hope you can make it next time.”  – Donald Abbott, Councilman for Ward 1 in Sparks

This event was a key moment of stewardship, a true chance to thank our dedicated Bigs for their unwavering commitment to our Littles. We are happy to simply say thank you for the time and love you pour into the program. 

Strengthening Mentorship  

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special night. You helped us strengthen the movement and showed every guest why being a Big is the most rewarding role in the community.  We are confident that many of the new faces we met last night will soon be starting their own life-changing mentorship journey!
