Phil's Big BBQ at the Ballpark is a delicious way to support our military families and their children, tickets are on sale now!

(SAN DIEGO) - Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County’s Operation Bigs is a one-to-one mentoring program for military children, the first of its kind in the nation. The program joins children with parents in the military to volunteer “Bigs” who are in the military, retired or civilian.

Operation Bigs was launched in 2004 to meet the increasing demand for BBBS from military families stationed at Camp Pendleton. Since its inception, Operation Bigs has served more than 2,638 Navy and Marine Corps children throughout San Diego County and inspired the expansion of over 30 sites across the country.
