Help us Ignite Potential
Little by Little.

Join us as we head into our 2018 Community Support Campaign! You can help give children in our communities bigger and brighter futures. We currently have over 120 children waiting for a mentor and your gift will help us match them with caring mentors. Local data shows that children in our programs are doing better in school, are avoiding drugs and alcohol use and are less likely to engage in risky behavior. Give the kids in our county a chance at a better life and better future.

We can help! Join us for the 4th Annual “Dodge For A Cause’ Tournament and support Big Brothers Big Sisters and vulnerable children in SLO County.
What do you have to do?
Gather Your Team: Gather at least 6, but no more than 10 other dodgeball enthusiasts* (you know everyone wants to play) and start brainstorming uniforms! We have a tradition of fabulous themes and uniforms for the tournament and you’ll have to be creative to win the “Gucci” award!
*To ensure players safety, all team members must be 18 or older.
SIGN UP HERE: Team entries are $800. That’s only $80 per person—or better yet, have your company sponsor your team! ALL proceeds are used to fund caring, professionally supported relationships for children right here in SLO County. We have limited space for teams, so to register your team, click here, or contact Patty at patty@slobigs.org or 805-781-3226.
FUND A CAUSE: Once you have your minimum entry amount, ask your friends to support your efforts raise funding for our vital programs. Share the link , ask for support from your friends and family, and make it simple so anyone can chip in!
RULES: Even though we all know dodge, duck and dive, here are A few more rules about Dodgeball. The most important rule is to be respectful, have fun, shake hands, make friends and be good sports!
WIN! Prizes will be awarded to the Tournament Champions, Runner-Up and Consolation bracket winners (yes, we give points for the first losers), and the “BIGS Choice Award’, or the ‘Gucci Award’.
Interested in becoming a sponsor? Contact Patty Carpenter at patty@slobigs.org or call 805-781-3226.

2021 Cornhole Tournament

1st Annual Cornhole Tournament
August 6, 2021
Avila Bay Athletic Club

Get ready for the bags to fly! With C-19 barely in the rear view mirror, the decision was made to postpone dodgeball until everyone felt a little better about the large crowds and close contact on the courts. Cornhole came up as the unanimous choice and will allow folks that are say, less agile or unwilling to take a high-powered ball to the head, while also allowing us to have a kid’s bracket as well.

2 person teams are guaranteed a minimum of 2 games and will play a double elimination format. This means that the consolation bracket winner can win the whole enchilada by beating the winner of the winner’s bracket.

Avila Bay Athletic Club will have food, beer and wine for purchase and the spectator view will be great from their huge viewing deck.
To sign up now, please contact Patty at 805-329-1956 or patty@slobigs.org

Team fees – Registration link coming soon. 100% OF TEAM FEES go directly to funding our programs. Our generous sponsors have underwritten the cost of the tournament.
Kid’s Team – TBD
2-person team registration – $200
Corporate Throwdown – $800

Four 2-person teams that will compete individually in the double elimination tournament. Cumulative place points will be given for each 2-person team and tallied to decide the winner of the ‘Throwdown’!
