Thanks to everyone who joined us at Cocktails for Cause in support of Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver. The evening was a huge success, and we'd like to give a special thanks to Jillian Harris who really helped raise awareness of Big Brothers' newest campaign offering volunteer opportunities to women. As Jillian so gracefully said it: "In school mentoring is not just for the boys" anymore.

Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver is a registered charity and community-based organization that has been operating in the Lower Mainland since 1957. Traditionally, they have offered friendship based mentoring programs and matched boys & girls who have limited to no contact with their families with carefully screened and trained adult volunteers. Times have changed, and in response, they have developed a menu of programs to suit the diversity of the communities we serve. Big Brothers recognizes that the mentor-mentee relationship is a shared, meaningful experience for both the child and the volunteer. Everyday experiences mean BIG impacts for the child, the volunteer and the community at large.

We'd also like to give a special thanks to Earls Strawberry Hill, The Beat 94.5 fm and all of our generous donors who helped make the evening so special.
