Big Buddy Mentoring Trust recently held a fundraising lunch at Fantail & Turtle, hosted by Travis Field and his team. Guest speaker Grant Fox, Big Buddy ambassador and trustee, shared his support for Big Buddy’s work connecting boys with positive male role models.

Christie Stuart, Big Buddy co-CEO, highlighted the need for mentors, with 87 boys currently on the waitlist, including 14 from the North Harbour region. This means 14 local boys are waiting for someone to give their time, build a friendship and make a lasting difference.

Thanks to the generosity of those attending, the lunch raised $42,700 to help more boys build meaningful, lasting relationships.
