🚨 Big things are coming! 🚨

Our President and CEO, Diane P. Phakonekham recently teamed up with K-Jewel 99.3 FM, The Legend 105.5, New Rock 104.1, and 95.7 The Fox to record an exciting PSA with One Putt Broadcasting focused on one important message: our children need mentors NOW.

There are currently children on our waitlist waiting for a caring adult to show up for them. That's why we're thrilled to launch our new Lunch Buddy Program with Fresno Unified School District. Just one lunch a week can make a lasting difference in a child's life.

Ready to become a Big? Contact us at 559-268-2447 or visit BIGS.org today.

A special thank you to One Putt Broadcasting for helping us spread the word, and David Kane Caudillo for making the recording process a blast. 💚 Take a listen at the link below!

💚 It’s Match Monday at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California!

Every match tells a story of friendship, encouragement, and life-changing impact. From shared laughs to meaningful conversations, our Bigs and Littles continue to show us the power of mentorship and connection.

Because of caring mentors and supportive communities, our Littles are gaining confidence, building brighter futures, and discovering just how special they truly are.

Thank you to every Big who shows up, listens, encourages, and makes a difference each and every day. 💚

Happy Belated Birthday to an incredible supporter, and leader of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California - Ted Marsella!

Today we celebrate not only a valued member of our 300 Club, but someone who continually makes a meaningful impact on the lives of the children and families we serve. Ted’s generosity, leadership, and heart for our community are truly appreciated more than words can express.

As Vice President of California Bank and Trust, Ted exemplifies what it means to lead with integrity, compassion, and purpose. His ongoing support of our mission helps create brighter futures, stronger mentorships, and life-changing opportunities for local youth.

Ted, thank you for believing in our agency and for standing beside us as we continue to defend the potential of every child. Your encouragement and dedication mean so much to all of us at BBBSCC.

Even though this birthday wish is a little late, our appreciation for you is always right on time. Wishing you a year filled with happiness, success, and unforgettable moments. Happy Belated Birthday! 🎂💚

There’s something so special about slowing down, stepping outside, and simply enjoying the beauty around us. 🌿☀️

Our Community Based Bigs and Littles in Tulare County had an incredible time on their nature walk — sharing laughs, making memories, exploring together, and building connections that continue to grow stronger every day.

At BBBSCC, it’s never just a walk - it’s quality time, encouragement, friendship, and creating memories that our Littles will carry with them for years to come.

Thank you to our amazing Bigs for showing up, investing your time, and making a difference one step at a time. 🌎👟

Happy Birthday to our incredible Foundation Board President, Jack Emerian!

Today, we celebrate not only an amazing leader, but a truly generous and compassionate person whose heart for our mission continues to make a lasting impact on the children and families we serve. Your dedication, guidance, and unwavering support mean more than words can express.

Because of people like you, lives are being changed every single day. Thank you for believing in the power of mentorship and for helping us create brighter futures for our Littles.

From all of us at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California, we wish you a birthday filled with joy, love, and all the happiness you so greatly deserve. 💚🎂
