OUR PARTNERS BBBSCI is grateful for dedicated partners who support their mission, Littles, Bigs, and families. These partners show up as donors, sponsors, funders, and volunteers in their many programs, some of which are listed below. Community Providers Blank Park Zoo Botanical Gardens Game Day Get Air Living History Farms Salon Spa W’s ZooDo Event Science Center Free Activities For Matches Through their generosity, BBBSCI offers discounts to local entertainment and educational venues where Bigs and Littles interact and build their personal connections. It is through these “match activities” that their relationships grow stronger as their bonds grow. Bottle & Bottega Businessolver Capital City Pride Parade Des Moines Menace Des Moines Performing Arts Des Moines Playhouse Drake Soccer Teams Flix Brewhouse Adopt-A-Family In addition to match activities, BBBSCI gives to the families who are enrolled in their programs with Adopt-A-Family and Fund-A-Family initiatives. BBBSCI has collected and distributed holiday gifts to 150 families over the past few years. If it were not for thoughtful donors in our village, many families would not have presents to enjoy during this season of giving. BBBSCI asks the recipient families to write personal thank you cards to the donors when they pick up their gifts. Fund-A-Family At their 2023 Big Shots Golf fundraiser, BBBSCI introduced a new initiative focused on supporting some of its families. Fund-A-Family is an initiative to provide gift cards to families from local stores who offer food and fuel options. Two new sponsors stepped forward to support this new fundraising effort: Sigma Pi Phi Gamma Eta Boule and Tim Robinson. Their sponsorship helped BBBSCI purchase gifts cards for several families in their network.
