The community came together in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters through sponsorship, ticket sales, raffle, and silent auction for an incredible cause. Funds raised from the Big Taste of Martin County supported their mission to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth throughout Palm Beach and Martin Counties. The money will support over 480 local kids throughout Palm Beach and Martin Counties. The relationships with the “Bigs” and “Littles” has never been more important than now.
