Engagement Events
These events are a great opportunity to network with Bigs and supporters in our program as well as learn more about how you can get involved!
Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee join forces for a joyful, one-day community event where Milwaukee can give twice the hope — donating blood to save lives and bringing new toys to brighten a child’s holiday. The combined blood and toy drive, “Double the Drive. Double the Hope.” takes place at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee’s Cathedral Square headquarters on Nov. 4, 2026. This event supports both Versiti’s lifesaving mission and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee’s mentorship programs, benefiting children through the Kids2Kids Toy Drive and patients in need across Wisconsin.
We invite you to please join us for our next Mentoring Mix at Slingshot Bar in West Allis! Network with fellow Bigs and prospective mentors while testing you slingshot accuracy, enjoying delicious snacks and refreshments, and a chance to win a gift card raffle.
For our matched Bigs, we appreciate the time, care, and energy you give as a mentor. Your impact truly makes a difference. We invite you to connect, have fun, and celebrate with us!
