Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Houston is soaring to new heights in their mission to uplift and inspire Houston's youth. Thanks to an exciting partnership with the Bristow Group, the much-anticipated 'Lift Up My Little' helicopter ride is back, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience to deserving Littles on Saturday, September 7th.

This thrilling event celebrates the winners of the annual 'Lift Up My Little' campaign, a peer-to-peer fundraising initiative that empowers dedicated Bigs (mentor volunteers) to raise critical funds. These funds are essential in creating more Big/Little Matches, directly impacting the lives of nearly 700 children currently on the waitlist. This year's campaign was a resounding success, raising an impressive $32,000, a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Bigs to their Littles and the broader Houston community.

The top six fundraisers will be rewarded with a breathtaking helicopter ride, offering panoramic views of the Houston skyline. This unforgettable journey will take place in the state-of-the-art AW-139 helicopter, renowned for its exceptional comfort, low noise levels, minimal vibration, and advanced safety features. As these Littles take to the skies, they will not only enjoy a unique perspective of their city but also gain a deeper appreciation for the support and opportunities provided by Big Brothers Big Sisters.

In addition to the helicopter ride, the Bigs' hard work will be further recognized with scholarships for their Littles. These scholarships will enable Littles to participate in a variety of academic and extracurricular activities, including STEM programs, life skills workshops, music lessons, sports, and outdoor adventures. By providing these enriching experiences, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Houston continues to defend and nurture the potential of every child they serve.

At the heart of Big Brothers Big Sisters' mission is the belief that every child has limitless potential, and it is through events like 'Lift Up My Little' that this potential is truly realized. The partnership with Bristow Group has not only made this exhilarating experience possible but also reinforced the organization's commitment to making a lasting impact on the lives of Houston's youth.

As the Littles prepare to take flight on September 7th, they are reminded that the sky is not the limit—it's just the beginning. With the continued support of the community, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Houston will keep lifting up Littles, one extraordinary experience at a time.
