The purpose is to mentor young people to become the best they can be. The top pledge earner for 2010 was Ernie Parent, with $3,378.65.

Big Brothers and Big Sisters is involved in many community events, such as the Gingerbread Decorating contest held Dec. 20 at Tramonto's in downtown Kincardine. The contest saw designers from Tramonto's, Gilley's, New Season's, Erie Belle, Walker House and The Tartan Toad compete. The gingerbread houses were then auctioned off, with The Tartain Toad and Gilley's tying for top honours. The local restaurants that participated did so as a fund-raiser for Big Brothers and Big Sisters. The agency appreciates their support.
