Thank You

Thank you for visiting our 2021 Charity Golf Auction site!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flint and Genesee County, along with presenting sponsor O’Reilly Auto Parts is preparing for the 46th Annual Fore the Kids’ Golf Outing. This year marks eight years that O’Reilly Auto Parts has served as the presenting sponsor. Supporting sustainable mentor relationships among youth and adults is a major priority for the nationwide company.

The outing is being held Thursday and Friday, June 24th and 25th at the 18-hole Atlas Valley Country Club in Grand Blanc. The two-day event features Golf a Palooza, a $10,000 cash prize for a hole-in-one, longest drive contest, refreshments at the turn, a photo booth, a commemorative gift, and fun day on the course in support of the premier mentoring organization in the country. An exciting part of the Golf Event is the Charity Auction brought to you by O’Reilly Auto Parts and AC Delco.

Your support of our Charity Auction helps us recruit more mentors, sustain services to current matches, and provide enrichment activities to the more than 500+ youth served annually. Please take a moment to bid on selected items that have been donated by community-minded businesses who are invested in the future of area youth. Spread the word to your friends about our Charity Auction. Don’t worry about them out-bidding you! It’s Fore the Kids.

Every donation Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flint & Genesee County receives empowers us to complete our mission to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. We service the most vulnerable youth in Genesee County by empowering them to achieve all of their hopes, dreams, and goals.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is focused on keeping existing Big/Little matches connected with innovative and creative support through phone calls, text messages, digital learning platforms, and other technology-enabled engagement tools. With the required social distancing, and having to restructure and get creative with the way our Bigs provide mentorship, many of our Littles could have escalating issues that they already face every day. Some of these issues are challenges such as societal barriers, opportunity gaps, and adversities including poverty and identity-based discrimination in their communities. But having their Big there for them—even though not face-to-face—can still make a huge impact. Mentoring means our Littles won’t have to face these barriers alone, these positive relationships help build confidence and helps them build their biggest possible future.

Thank you for defending the potential of Genesee County youth. 

All proceeds from the auction will support our one-to-one mentoring programs that ignite the power and promise of youth.
