Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra (BBBSNS) is thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 21st Annual BIG Autumn Auction, set to take place on Friday, September 12, 2025, at the Folsom Community Center. This signature fundraising event brings together community members and business leaders for an inspiring evening of generosity, entertainment, and purpose—all in support of youth mentorship programs across El Dorado, Placer, and Nevada Counties.

Tickets include a catered meal by renowned chef Diane Wilkinson, access to a robust silent and live auction, and the opportunity to invest in our local mentoring programs—helping local children reach their full potential through one-to-one mentoring relationships.

“At a time when giving is a fraction of what it has been in previous years and kids are growing up with less connection, this event ensures we can continue matching youth with caring adult mentors who make a lasting difference,” said Florence Parks, BBBSNS CEO. 

How you can help:

  • Sponsor the event and gain valuable exposure while supporting local youth.
  • Attend the event by purchasing tickets online by Friday, September 5.
  • Donate auction items such as gift baskets, getaways, services, or unique experiences to help us raise crucial funds.

Sponsorship levels and registration details are available now at bbbsns.org under Events.

All proceeds directly support mentoring programs that serve over 200 local children each year, giving them guidance, support, and the opportunity to thrive.

Join us as a Defender of Potential. Together, we can change lives—one match at a time.
