SPARK: Celebrate Mentoring Luncheon

JOIN US ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5th, 2026

The SPARK Celebrate Mentoring Luncheon is Big Brothers Big Sisters’ signature annual celebration — an uplifting midday event that recognizes leaders who ignite change and inspire others through mentorship. Each year, SPARK draws an engaged audience of business and community leaders whose support helps fund vital mentoring programs for local youth. An inspiring luncheon that combines powerful storytelling, and recognition of exceptional individuals who embody the spirit of mentorship in our community.

By supporting SPARK, you are making an investment in youth, leadership, and the future of our community. As a sponsor or attendee, you and your organization becomes part of a high-profile event that unites business and community leaders around one common goal: igniting potential in young people through the power of mentorship.

Mark your calendar and join us for the most meaningful lunch date of the year. February 5, 12 noon at the Delta Marriott Saint John. Our emcee, Hon. David Hickey, will host this wonderful event which will include a delicious lunch, guest speaker Roxanne Reeves, and recognition of outstanding mentors in our community, Christine Evans, Heather Acker, Destiny Leblanc, and Maria Paul.
