Saturday February 6, 2016 HOUSE OF BLUES BOSTON On February 6, 2016, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay held its 17th annual Big Night which since its inception in 1998 has raised over $30 million to support youth mentoring across Massachusetts Bay. With a sold out crowd, 1,000 guests rocked out to incredible performances by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and Flo Rida. Thanks to wonderful supporters including friends and family of the inspirational 7th annual James J Pallotta Award Recipients, Josh and Anita Bekenstein, Big Night was able to raise over $2 million to support the 2,000 youth in our programs facing adversity.
