defenders
Our annual agency sponsors are defenders of potential. Yearly, companies have the opportunity to partner with our agency in a larger capacity. These select companies support Big Brothers Big Sisters year-round through event and program support. Through their commitment, we're igniting potential and inspiring tomorrow's leaders.

SIGN UP FOR A LUNCH & LEARN!
A Lunch & Learn is a FREE opportunity for you and your coworkers to enjoy a casual lunch at your office while learning about Big Brothers Big Sisters and the many different ways you can get involved! Volunteer opportunities, like the ones offered by BBBS, allow employees to work together to build camaraderie, foster relationships and feel good about giving back to their community. Bonus: This opportunity doesn’t have to take place over the lunch hour! You can schedule a breakfast, snack break, or during an already scheduled meeting for us to come speak to your company. Meeting times can be adjusted but normally last anywhere from 30-60 minutes.
LICENSE PLATES
There are thousands of children across Florida in need of a mentor. But being a volunteer mentor and role model is only one of the ways to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Florida. You can also purchase one of our license plates at your local tax collector’s office.
Florida offers over 100 different specialty license plates for various organizations in support of the causes they represent. The money raised from the sale of these license plates goes directly to the organization. Since the inception of specialty license plate millions of dollars have been raised for the organizations.
For each plate sold, Big Brothers Big Sisters receives $25 to help kids across Florida develop a firm foundation for a Big Life. What represents Florida better than beautiful beaches? Give back, while riding in style, by purchasing our custom license plate available at all county Tax Collector’s offices!
