Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego Announces 62nd Annual Gourmet Dinner on Oct. 10, 2024, at the USS Midway Museum
The eagerly anticipated event will celebrate the life-changing work of our Bigs and honor Retired Major General Anthony Jackson and program Littles.
“Our annual Gourmet Dinner is a powerful tribute to the impact of mentorship," said Tina Rose, CEO and President of Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County. “It’s a night to celebrate the incredible Bigs, donors, and partners who help us shape brighter futures and inspire lasting change in the lives of young people.”
This event will kick off with a sunset cocktail party at 6 p.m. with a hosted bar, live music, and a silent auction on the flight deck of this historic vessel. The celebration will continue from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m., when our Gourmet Dinner and inspiring program will commence, including a spectacular live auction on the hangar deck.
“This event is a night of joy, connection, and inspiration as we celebrate the transformative work we do as an organization for Bigs and Littles alike,” said Rose. “We are especially proud of our Operation Bigs Program, which has positively impacted the lives of military-connected youth for two decades," said Rose. "It has been recognized as one of the most successful military mentoring programs in the nation, serving thousands of Navy and Marine Corps children and inspiring the expansion to BBBS affiliates across the country.”
The event will also honor retired Major General Anthony Jackson, a pivotal figure in the growth of Operation Bigs, as our 2024 Big Champion and will present Courage Awards to a Little Brother and a Little Sister. Auction items range from stunning vacations to electric bikes. Buy tickets to support the cause.
