New for 2025, the Big 33 is excited to introduce the Buddy Gift Program! This initiative is designed to support our amazing Big 33 Buddies by helping to meet their individual needs – whether it’s technology, therapy services, camp opportunities, or adaptive equipment.

Buddies can apply for assistance, and with the help of generous donations, the Big 33 will work to fulfill as many requests as possible.

Your support can make a life-changing impact. Every donation helps us provide vital resources to the Buddies who inspire us every day. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
