Every Journey Begins with One Connection: A Big Celebration of Cultures and Connections
Monday, November 16th
Vue, Worcester
This year — and moving forward — we're excited to shift our Gala celebration from its traditional spring date to the fall, kicking off a new chapter for this beloved event.
Join us for an elegant evening of discovery as we travel across continents through an extraordinary culinary experience. Featuring thoughtfully curated cuisine and signature beverages inspired by the diverse cultures and traditions of the world, each destination offers a unique taste of its heritage, craftsmanship, and hospitality. From vibrant street-food favorites and regional specialties to internationally inspired cocktails, fine wines, and distinctive spirits, guests will enjoy an immersive passport to flavors from around the globe. Like every meaningful journey, this experience is about more than the places we visit—it's about the connections we make along the way. At Big Brothers Big Sisters, mentoring opens doors to new experiences, broadens perspectives, and helps young people discover a world of possibilities through the guidance of a trusted mentor. In much the same way, this evening invites guests to explore, connect, and appreciate the unique stories, traditions, and cultures that shape our world. As you savor each destination, you'll also help create life-changing journeys for local youth. Your generosity empowers young people to dream bigger, explore new opportunities, and build relationships that expand their horizons for years to come. Together, we'll celebrate the diversity that enriches our communities and invest in the one-to-one mentoring relationships that inspire confidence, ignite potential, and create lasting impact.
Purchase Tickets and Sponsorships
MAKE A BIG IMPACT. Your sponsorship is more than one night — it's a passport to a child's future. National studies show that youth with a Big Brothers Big Sisters mentor travel further in life: they do better in school, arrive at greater confidence, and reach higher wages as adults. Every journey needs someone showing the way — it all starts with you showing up for a cause that matters.
Sponsorship levels that include tickets to our VIP reception will board early, with access to our world-class pre-event reception — champagne, a raw bar, and other first-class touches before the main event begins.
VIP reception will begin at 5 pm.
