Celebrating Mentorship: Highlights from the 2024 BBBS Gala Celebration
On November 16th, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Erie, Niagara & The Southern Tier hosted our 2024 Celebration Gala at the stunning Powerhouse by The Rich Entertainment Group, raising over $170,000 to support life-changing mentorship programs. The evening celebrated the contributions of Dr. Christine Farrow, CTBK, and Big Sisters Elizabeth Burakowski and Candice Miller. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, sponsors, and donors, we are ready to continue to ignite the potential of even more children across Western New York.
