She was a Big Buddy to two students from Bayview Elementary School in Vancouver from 2005 – 2008.

The event will feature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and The Beat 94.5’s Nira Arora. Jillian will also be doing a Q&A session with guests.

Big Brothers hopes the event will increase awareness about their volunteer opportunities for women, as well as recruit women to volunteer as In-School mentors in Surrey where some children wait two years for Big Buddies.
