ASBURY PARK, NJ (July 7, 2026) — Some of the best mentoring moments happen outside of everyday routines. The Bigs and Littles of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal & Northern New Jersey recently had the opportunity to experience the excitement of the FIFA World Cup 2026 at NYNJ Stadium together on June 30th, sharing an unforgettable day filled with cheering, laughter, and memories they’ll carry with them for years to come.

Moments like these remind us that mentorship isn't just about conversations, it's about shared experiences that inspire confidence, spark curiosity, and show young people what's possible. Whether it's cheering alongside fans from around the globe or witnessing history in the making, these opportunities help our youth see a world that's bigger than they imagined.

A huge thank you to Governor Mikie Sherrill who helped make this incredible experience possible for 40 Bigs and Littles!
