Joelle's ImpACT Anaheim Fundraiser
In Anaheim and across Orange County, too many young people are growing up without the consistent support and encouragement they need to thrive. At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County, we see every day how one caring mentor can change the trajectory of a child’s life. A single friendship built on trust, guidance, and connection can help a young person gain confidence, improve academically, and believe in their future. In a community as vibrant and diverse as Anaheim, mentorship creates stronger families, safer neighborhoods, and brighter opportunities for the next generation. By supporting this campaign, you are helping local youth realize their potential and ensuring that every child has someone in their corner reminding them they matter, they belong, and they can achieve great things.
For more than 65 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire has helped local youth realize their full potential through the power of mentorship. By matching young people with mentors from their own community, we help build confidence, improve academic success, strengthen mental wellness, and create brighter futures for youth who need support the most.
During ImpACT Anaheim Giving Day, we’re joining 10 other OC nonprofits in a collective effort to raise $175,000 for at-promise youth across our community—and we need your help to reach our biggest goal yet of $60,000! Thanks to our generous matching donor and board member Matt Bailey, the first $10,000 fundraised will be MATCHED, meaning your impact will be DOUBLED for local youth waiting for guidance, encouragement, and opportunity.
Whether you’re a longtime supporter or discovering our mission for the first time, your gift today helps ignite potential and remind young people like Alessandro that someone believes in them.
