Bob’s Big Give was started over a decade ago for the purpose of helping our less fortunate neighbors. The key to the donating is that the funds go 100% directly to those in need. And I mean a 100%!

This has always been a grassroots effort. We have raised funds in a number of ways - selling merch, fundraising events and of course, donations from lovely people like you. Over the last 10 years I have asked my fellow workers, friends and relatives not to get me birthday or Christmas presents but rather to make a donation to BBG . The beauty of all of this fundraising is that I personally match the amount dontated. I revel each year as the number grows and we get to help more and more of our neighbors! I just want to personally thank all of the wonderful people who help make the BIG GIVE possible each year. We truly are making a difference.


We're making a big impact!


  • Tony is raising money for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in honor of his mother who is battling cancer and sent us the following message:
    “Bob - Thank you and Bob’s Big Give for the support! Today I ran a 20 mile race in Virginia Beach in preparation of the Boston Marathon in a few weeks. I couldn’t have achieved my goals with your support! THANK YOU!!”

  • Bob and Myvette

    As I am writing this email to thank you a thought came to my mind. You both have always responded to my request with much compassion and concern for those effected by chronic poverty. It takes a special kind of person (which you both are) not to be judgmental. This last request was a tuff one. I know no one wants
    to live like this intentionally and many people feel trapped in a cycle.

    One of the ways we can help them is to show them
    they are not alone and people care. Your gift has done exactly that. “Jesus said as much as you did this to the least of these you did it unto me”

    I am a blessed man to have you on my team to help those who feel forgotten.

    I pray this Easter season will bring you great peace
    as we celebrate how God changed the world forever.

    With a grateful and thankful heart
