The Big Draft
April 17 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Wear your favorite sports team’s jersey and join us at Sky Bar (rooftop of Castiglia’s) for The Big Draft, benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters Greater Fredericksburg. Coinciding with the NFL draft, this event aims to recruit new mentors while raising funds for youth mentoring.
Engage in lively conversations about mentorship with our esteemed guest bartenders, including former NFL Player & Super Bowl Champion Mike Nelms, Heather Hagerman (Former BBBS Board Member), James “Chip” Waldrop (Former Big Brother), Jonathan Pittman (Former Big Brother), and Sally Cooney Anderson (Former Big Sister).
Enjoy drinks poured by our guest bartenders and Sky Bar staff while supporting the cause by contributing tips directly benefiting our mission. Plus, 5% of all other sales at Sky Bar during the event will also be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Whether you’re considering becoming a mentor or simply want to support a great cause, your presence at The Big Draft will make a significant difference in the lives of local children. Bring along friends, family, and colleagues who share your passion for making a positive impact in the community.
This is a free, fun, and life-changing initiative! Just show up at Sky Bar (324 William St) on Wednesday, April 17 anytime between 6pm-9pm and join us for an evening of inspiring change. Together, let’s ignite the power and promise of youth!
