The Big Auction, a week-long online auction, serves as the single biggest fundraiser of the year for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota. The auction features items from local vendors, businesses, and attractions, as well as handmade goods. Money raised from the auction directly benefits our mentors and mentees. Our mission is to create one-to-one mentoring relationships between kids in a five-county area surrounding St. Cloud, Minn., with volunteer mentors. Funds raised support these matches by ensuring that they have professional support throughout the length of their match, as well as monthly activities to attend to build their relationshipv and get to know other mentors and mentees.
