“My Little Brother brings light into my life. He is fun to hang out with.”

Ways to Help

Volunteer Recruitment - Recruit others who would make good Big Brothers or Big Sisters. Remember, the person doesn't need to be Magic Johnson or Mother Teresa; he or she just needs to like kids, be reliable and want to create Big Magic in the life of child. Tell your friends, neighbors, and co-workers about becoming a "Big" or inviting us to do a presentation at their clubs, churches, or businesses. In particular, we need more men to become Big Brothers.
Bowl for Kids' Sake –This is a fun and easy bowl-a-thon where you form a team of 5 people, collect donations and bowl one to two free games at the Grand Sierra Resort Bowling Center. The day is a big party with refreshments, lots of prizes and fun. This annual fundraising event helps support the Big Brothers Big Sisters day to day operations. Visit Bowl for Kids' Sake
Designer Showcase Home – Take a walk through some of Reno’s most beautiful homes. This year, three Reno families have opened up their ArrowCreek homes for one weekend in April. The tours will run April 27, 28 and 29 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The weekend before the tours, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada will host a black-tie gala at one of the homes. One hundred percent of the funds raised go to help pair at-risk children in our community with mentors. Visit Designer Showcase Home

We are always looking for people to help us by becoming volunteer docents during the event. Please use the contact information at the bottom of the Designer Showcase Home page for more information. Visit Designer Showcase Home
Worthy Wheels – Invest in a child's future by donating your used vehicle - cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and planes – to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Your donation is tax-deductible and a way to help more children.
Individual Donations – Your donation of cash, securities, real estate or insurance is eagerly accepted and prudently invested in building a strong Big Brothers Big Sisters for our community. Visit Giving
Bequests – Plan ahead and include Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nevada in your
will or estate plan. Consultation with your accountant or financial planner is the first step. Visit Giving
Serving on the Board or a Committee – We are continuously looking for people with vision, contacts and ability to raise funds. How do we get so much done with such a small staff? It is through the combined efforts of many volunteers who serve on the board and/or a committee to plan and carry out many of our activities.
