“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.

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

- 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.

- 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.
