This event is free, however, pre-registration is required to receive links to the evening’s program.
Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Ice VII Award
A force of nature. A quick-spreading impact. Such phrases describe Ice VII, a recently discovered type of ice which, under the right conditions, spreads so fast it could freeze an entire ocean within hours. A similar description applies to our Ice VII award recipients and the expansive reach and influence they’ve had during the last 10 years of the Ice Ball’s existence.
Carly and Clayton Christopher have rallied the city around BBBS and helped to generate the amazing excitement for Ice Ball that exists today. Over the years they have been corporate and in-kind sponsors, they have recruited friends to the gala, and they have also made personal donations and purchases.
It is our privilege to present Carly and Clayton Christopher with the Ice VII Award in honor of their significant contributions to Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Ice Ball Gala.

FUND A FRIENDSHIP
ABOUT BBBS
At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas, we’ve been impacting the lives of children for more than 47 years by pairing children ages 6-16 with caring, adult mentors in Travis, Williamson and Hays counties. By supporting positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people, we work to strengthen each child’s ability to succeed and thrive in life.
FUND A FRIENDSHIP
It costs $1,250 to fund a life-changing mentoring relationship for a child for a year. There are still hundreds of children on our waiting list who are looking for the opportunity to be matched with a mentor of their own. Your Fund A Friendship gift provides kids like these with the one-to-one support they need to succeed in life.
WHY? HERE’S WHAT THE KIDS SAY:
“I want a Big Brother to go places with and have fun. He would be my best friend and I wouldn’t be lonely.”
“I want someone to be my friend. Someone I can talk to and can help me when I have problems.”
“I want to have a good life. I want a Big Sister to help me succeed.”
Your 100% tax-deductible Fund A Friendship gift can change a child’s life for the better, forever. Give now.
