Empire State Building

From sunset on the night of Friday, September 24th until 2am the next day, the Empire State Building will light up in BBBS of NYC colors, green and blue, to help raise awareness and support for the 6th Annual Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City RBC Race for the Kids - part of Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play on Saturday, September 25th!

We are so grateful to our partner, the Empire State Building Company, LLC, for this special lighting. Both the Empire State Building and Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City are "New York Institutions" and integral parts of the City's landscape.

The Fresh Air Fund

Our partnership with The Fresh Air Fund enables Littles to leave New York City, some of them for the first time, and spend two summer weeks either at a Fresh Air Fund camp in upstate New York or with a host family living in a rural or suburban community.

Most Valuable Kids

Most Valuable Kids (MVK) provides Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City's children with ticket donations to attend cultural events, professional and collegiate sports and entertainment events. Live entertainment provides a positive source of inspiration for children in a world where there are many negative alternatives.
