The Big Auction is the single largest fundraiser of the year for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota. All of the money raised stays locally with the agency to help recruit mentors and support one-to-one mentoring matches between volunteer adult mentors and kids in the community who need a little extra support. These mentoring relationships are proven to increase educational expectations and grades in our mentees, as well as improve depressive symptoms and communication skills in the kids we serve. BBBS of Central Minnesota serves kids in a five-country radius around St. Cloud, and each year the agency serves more than 800 kids.

All items on the auction are donated from individuals and businesses from around Minnesota.
