DID YOU KNOW...
- 1 in 8 kids in West Michigan live in poverty?
- Many kids don't have the school supplies they need to be successful?
- These same kids often attend school without the winter clothing and boots they need to play outside, walk to school and wait for a bus?
- Many of these same kids are unconfident and unmotivated at school because they feel like they don't fit in?

THE BIG GIVE IS ON A MISSION TO CHANGE THAT!

Since 2013, The Big Give has been raising money and giving back to kids in West Michigan, to help them be successful personally, socially and academically.
** We work with 14 schools in West Michigan
** We have raised over $1 million dollars since 2013
** We became an official 501(c)(3) in 2018

** WE HAVE HELPED 1000s OF KIDS!!!

🏆BIG GIVE GAMES 2023🏆

Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend to help support the Big Give Games!

22 children are now sponsored with this one event to have a Christmas this year ❤️

Huge shoutout Byron Center, Forest Hills, Grand Haven, Grandville, and Knapp's Corner Tranzform Fitness & Alpine Fit Body Boot Camp for making this event possible!

This was an incredible opportunity to bring everyone together for some friendly fitness competition and for a great cause.

Congratulations to our winning Teams!

None of this would have been possible without every single participant, volunteer, and supporter ❤️

THANK YOU!!

The Big Give

Matt and Mari Wilber founded The Big Give, upon opening their first Fit Body Boot Camp location in Grand Haven, in 2013. The Big Give was created to provide children in their community with Christmas presents from their wishlist.

To Matt and Mari’s surprise, the wishlists didn’t consist of toys but asked for basic necessities like socks and underwear. This moment transformed The Big Give’s mission into what it is today.

In year one, The Big Give raised $3,200 (pictured). In 2018, The Big Give raised over $130,000 to support children in more than 7 school districts across West Michigan.

In total, over the last 6 years, $261,000 has been raised/donated and nearly 1,000 children helped.
