Big Little Game Show F&Q

1. How do I register?
Visit the Big Little Game Show 2026 Registration Page and complete the registration form. Once you’re signed up, you’ll receive an email with your personal fundraising page to share with friends and family. There are also instructions on how to register here!

 

2. How much do I need to raise to participate? Or what happens if I don't raise the minimum amount?
Each match team must raise a minimum of $150 to be guaranteed a spot to attend the Big Little Game Show event on January 29, 2026. Teams that do not raise the minimum may still be eligible to win additional prizes.

 

3. What if I can’t attend the event?
No problem! If a Big isn’t able to attend, we’ll work with the Little to find another adult (such as a parent, guardian, or staff member) to join them for the event so they can still participate and enjoy the fun.

 

4. What should I wear?
Wear your “I Am a Big” or “I Am a Little” t-shirt!
If you don’t have one, please email Lauryn at lnystrom@bbbsia.org with your name and t-shirt sizes for both you and your Little.

 

5. How can I reach my fundraising goal?
It’s easier than you think! Here are a few simple ideas:

  • Ask 10 friends to donate $15 — that’s $150!

  • Share your fundraising page on social media.

  • Send a personal text or email to coworkers and family.

  • Set a small incentive or challenge (like posting a fun video when you hit your goal!).

Every dollar helps support mentoring relationships that change lives.

 

6. What happens if I don't reach my fundraising goal?

If you do not reach the $150 minimum, we can't guarantee a spot for you at the Big Little Game Show 2026. There is a chance you may still be eligible though, so keep fundraising!!

 

7. What can we win?
Participants will compete in audience games for a chance to win amazing prizes like:
Adventureland tickets
Escape room passes
Trampoline park party
Gift cards to local restaurants
…and more surprises announced at the event!

 

8. What should we bring to the Big Little Game Show?
Just your Big and Little, wear your “I Am a Big” or “I Am a Little” t-shirts, and bring a fully charged cell phone for interactive games!
Food and beverages will be provided, so no need to bring anything else.
