The Big Auction will be starting online via Auctria on the 1st of September to celebrate the start of Big Brothers Big Sisters, mentoring awareness month. Bidding will continue on the night and we will be auctioning our big items live. Join our Pub Quiz on the night, enjoy nibbles and drinks, and an opportunity for you to get a bit competitive, meet like-minded people, and connect with our professional network. Also hear from some of our amazing mentors who have been truly impactful on the lives of our mentees across Tāmaki Makaurau.
Tickets are priced at $150 for a team of 5 or $40 per person and receive a free raffle entry to win a bungy jump off Aotearoa's iconic Harbour Bridge with your ticket.
The best bit? All proceeds from the evening go towards reducing our waitlist of over 100 children to be matched with their very own 'Big'! As part of our #24Kfor2024 fundraising campaign, funds will go towards enabling Big Brothers Big Sisters to match more children in need of a mentor, role model and stable emotional support system. We are filling a gap for so many children, supporting vulnerable whānau and igniting potential in our tamariki.

Who is Big Brothers Big Sisters
Life is a lot easier when you have someone by your side. That’s why it’s so important for Auckland kids to have trusted adult role models they
Our mentoring program is designed to ignite potential in young people. By committing just one hour, once a week, you can make a lasting impact on a child's life. Our program is strength-based, meaning we focus on building on each child's unique skills and abilities. We believe that every child has the potential to succeed and thrive, and our mentors are there to help them achieve their goals. By providing a supportive, caring environment, we can help children develop the confidence and resilience they need to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
The difference you'll make
Children across Auckland are struggling without the presence of a positive role model in their lives. We want to provide every one of those children with a stable, caring mentor. But we can't do it without your help. By attending The Big Quiz, you could be part of providing children with a mentor of their very own. Hear from some of our current matches and their amazing stories of the impact of mentoring and the meaning relationships they have formed!
Here at Big Brothers Big Sisters Auckland, one of our matches is proving strong, well into their 4th year. This match is Roman, ‘little’, and Guy, ‘big’.
We are on the hunt for a generous business to sponsor Kendric and Rob's adventures for the next 12 months. Could that be you?
Hear about our amazing 5-year match between 'littles' Safia and Amna and Jodi 'Big' and a unique journey of how a match of two became three.
#24k For 2024
This year we are focusing on raising funds to support the 100+ children on our waitlist, who are excited and waiting to get the chance to be matched with their very own 'Big'.
24k for 2024 is an appeal that we will be running across the year in collaboration with a number of fundraising events and campaigns. We appreciate your contribution to our mission and hope to see you at one of our exciting fundraising initatives.
If you are interested in getting personally involved we would love to hear from you as you are able to raise funds through your own personal fundraising efforts.
The Impact Of Mentoring
Your generosity can make sure these kids have the support they need to ignite their potential!
We are a passionate charity committed to intervention and prevention. Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Auckland is on a mission to ensure every child in our city has access to a caring, compassionate adult mentor to help unlock their true potential.
