BBBS executive director, Julia Williams says, "The annual golf scramble is a major fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters. We greatly appreciate past support from our community and look forward to another fun day. There are various ways for the community to become involved including sponsorships or food and prize donations." Local businesses are invited to be $100 hole sponsors, which includes a business listing at the hole as well as on a banner in the clubhouse.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lake County and the Flathead Reservation serves children in Ronan, Pablo, Polson and Hot Springs schools. Their mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with mentors that have a measurable impact on our youth. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a best practice prevention program proven to impact a broad spectrum of risk factors including delinquency, alcohol, tobacco and drug use, teen pregnancy and school dropout, while simultaneously helping children reach their highest potential. While the program has historically partnered high school students as "Bigs," the organization is now adding an adult mentoring program and invites interested community members to contact the BBBS office for information about the program.
