This event will provide the Littles (mentees) in BBBSLI’s program with an unforgettable evening of fun and inspiration. Participants will have the unique opportunity to meet and interact with players from the Long Island Nets, who are not only celebrated athletes but also role models in the community. The Littles will enjoy access to Urban Air’s exhilarating facilities, including trampolines, obstacle courses, and more. To make the evening even more special, the Nets players will present each Little with a holiday gift, spreading cheer and reinforcing the spirit of giving.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Long Island Nets for their partnership and generosity,” said Mark Cox, Executive Director of BBBSLI. “This event is a wonderful opportunity to bring joy to our Littles during the holiday season and to highlight the importance of mentorship and community support.”
