How much did we raise last year?

In lieu of last year’s Big 3 Fishing Tournament, the BIG 3 Challenge was initiated to lessen the impact of COVID-19 on our mission and continue to serve as many kids on the Cape and Islands as possible. We fortunately raised nearly $200,000 thanks to all of our BIG 3 Challenge participants and donors! We are so grateful fort their incredible support and for sticking with us as we navigated through the challenges of the pandemic. The BIG 3 contributes to nearly 40% of the agency’s annual operating budget and with your help, we can raise much needed funds to continue our mission! Check out photos from 2019.

In 1974 an informal group of volunteers began serving as mentors to six disadvantaged youth on Cape Cod. Soon after, the group was formally organized as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands. The program was founded due to the large population of at-risk children- particularly those living in single-parent homes on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard.

In 2006, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands merged with Boston-based Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts (formally of Massachusetts Bay) to improve organizational sustainability and increase capacity to serve children. Based in Hyannis, MA we are currently the only one-to-one youth mentoring agency on Cape Cod.
