What an amazing day! ⛳

Our Second Annual Birdies for Bigs Golf Tournament was a tremendous success! From beautiful weather to an incredible group of golfers, sponsors, and supporters, the day was filled with great energy, generosity, and—most importantly—a shared commitment to making a difference in the lives of local youth.
We want to take a moment to recognize a few sponsors who joined us in the final stretch and helped make the day even more special: PepsiCo, Eclipse Catering, and Wilder Coffee.
We are so grateful for your support!

And to ALL of our sponsors, participating businesses, teams, golfers, volunteers, and supporters—THANK YOU!
From our Title Sponsor to our Tee Sponsors, every partnership matters. Every contribution helps create opportunities for young people to build confidence, develop meaningful relationships, and reach their potential.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not really about golf—it’s about the kids.

Thank you for showing up, investing in our mission, and helping us make more one-to-one connections possible in our community.
We couldn’t do this without you!

We miss our former Director of Development & Marketing, but we’re excited to introduce you to the person stepping into the role!

Meet Lauren Peck, the newest member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Missouri team!

Lauren brings a colorful and varied background to BBBS, with experience ranging from higher education admissions and recruitment to sales and distribution, along with a few stints of good old-fashioned hands-on work in farming and construction. Needless to say, she’s not afraid to jump in and get to work!

Although Lauren is still new to BBBS—joining us in July just in time for Countdown to Kickoff—she jumped right in and took on whatever needed to be done as if she had been here all along. Her sales experience and community relationships are already proving valuable, but what she’s most excited about is the opportunity to get back to working directly with and advocating for young people.

Want to get to know Lauren a little better? Her first newsletter is out now, where she shares more about her journey, what brought her to BBBS, and why she believes in the power of reaching young people early, building their confidence, and helping them see possibilities for their future. To subscribe, go to our website https://www.bigsofcentralmo.org/, scroll to the very bottom of the page, enter your email, then click the subscribe button.

Give it a read, get to know Lauren, and stay connected with BBBS Central Missouri by subscribing to our newsletter! 💙

Our Birdies for Bigs Golf Tournament is almost here! ⛳

As we get ready for a wonderful day on Monday, we want to take a moment to highlight and thank our incredible sponsors!

Yes, there will be golf, laughter, and plenty of fun—but the real reason we’re out there is the Littles. Every sponsorship helps make those one-to-one mentoring relationships possible—the kind of relationships that give a child someone to count on, someone to listen, and someone in their corner.

To every sponsor who chose to invest in our youth: THANK YOU. Your partnership reaches far beyond the golf course and into the lives of local kids. ❤️

Important Scientific Findings: What Are Our Littles MOST Excited About This School Year?

We conducted a highly scientific survey of 13 Littles, ranging from 1st–12th grade, to determine what they’re looking forward to most as they head back to school.

When asked, “The thing I’m MOST excited about this school year is…”

7.7% said: French II
7.7% said: Graduating
7.7% said: Being in 7th grade
7.7% said: Playing inside
15.4% said: Playing outside
7.7% said: Basketball
30.8% said: Seeing my friends and playing sports
7.7% said: Field trips
7.7% said: It ending

We weren't finished with our research! We also asked, “What is your favorite subject?”

The results were... educationally fascinating.

15.4% said: Reading
15.4% said: Math
7.7% said: Art
7.7% said: Band
7.7% said: PE
7.7% said: Math AND PE
7.7% said: French AND English
7.7% said: Group Time
7.7% said: Science
7.7% said: Recess
7.7% said: None

Our highly scientific conclusion: There is no single favorite when it comes to school, but friends, sports, reading, and math appear to be strong contenders. And apparently, recess is still holding its own in the academic rankings.

Further research may be required.

With school back in session, we hosted a Back-to-School Bash last Wednesday where our Littles could pick out school supplies and water bottles—and even personalize their new water bottles at our decoration station!

And of course, no bash is complete without a cookout!
Everyone enjoyed burgers and hot dogs fresh off the grill while celebrating the start of a new school year.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this fun day possible! Here's to a great school year!

Today is National Nonprofit Day and we are feelin' the love this afternoon! Heart of Missouri United Way has been spreading their appreciation in many delicious ways but this one really takes the cake! 🥁

Nothing Bundt Cakes is just one of the tasty reminders of their dedication to serving the community and other nonprofits!
Thank you for what you do!

We had a busy weekend! 🎉

Celebrity Bartending at Pierpont General Store went off without a hitch! It was HOT, but the drinks were COLD—and together, we raised close to $3,000!

After a fun night serving up delicious cocktails on Friday, we were up bright and early Saturday morning at the farmers market, recruiting Bigs and spreading the word about the impact of mentorship.

Have you ever thought about becoming a Big? You don’t have to be the wisest, richest, or smartest person in the room. You just need a heart for the cause and a little time to give. The impact you can make is meaningful—and lasting.

Reach out today to learn how you can get started! 💚

Things are getting SERIOUS behind the bar…

Join us THIS FRIDAY at Pierpont General Store for their Celebrity Bartending Series—with a little friendly competition mixed in! 👀

We’ve pitted two of the most fabulous dames in nonprofit against each other, Ann Merrifield and Kerrie Bloss, and they’ve each created their very own signature cocktail.

YOU get to VOTE with your dollar!
Whose drink will come out on top? Only your taste buds—and your generosity—can decide!

There will be live music , a raffle , great people, good vibes, and perhaps just a tiny amount of competitive spirit.

And apparently… somebody has been taking this VERY seriously.

Check out the video for a little behind-the-scenes look at the preparation happening leading up to the big night. Let’s just say one of our celebrity bartenders has been practicing her shaking technique… and she’s determined to get it right.

Come sip, laugh, vote, and support a great cause!

⏰ 5:30–8:30 PM
📍 Pierpont General Store

May the best bartender win!
