"What makes the Big Taste of Martin County truly special is its dedication to giving back. This event is our largest fundraising event and plays a vital role in creating and supporting one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of our youth," said Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties in a statement.
At the event, BBBS hopes to draw attention to the big demand for volunteers to mentor youth.
"We have about two hundred kids on the waiting list at any given time, mainly boys. They all volunteered to be in the program. They just want to spend time with someone and do fun things and talk to someone. That's really what they're asking," said Yvette Acevedo Flores, the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
"For me to give back and give somebody that mentorship or just somebody to talk to is very fulfilling," said Lawrence Howell, who volunteers as a Big Brother.
