*Big Brothers Big Sisters has been serving young people in Western North Carolina since 1982, matching children ages 6-14 from single-parent families with caring, adult mentors. The organization currently covers eight counties.

"Bigs" and "littles" spend time together forming a friendship. In the traditional program, they participate in activities in our community like hiking on the parkway, playing ball, or baking cookies. In the site-based program, bigs and littles see each other at the child's school or recreation center. They spend time playing games, completing homework, and having lunch together.

Bigs and littles have fun together — and create memories that last a lifetime. Research points to the powerful, positive, lasting impact bigs have on children’s lives.

Some folks have been known to have a little trouble finding the Gray Eagle for the first time as it's not located in a pedestrian-heavy area. Once they locate it between Future Traditions warehouse and the Silver Dollar cafe though, they'll see that it's really not that far from all the downtown action and stands guard over Asheville's River Arts District. Quaint and cozy, the Gray Eagle seems to be a modified house-turned-listening room. The Eagle has always been known for it's crystal clear sound, bluegrass, zydeco, and contra dancing. Recently, they have been making a name for themselves on the indie rock circuit, with Harvest Records presenting a series of concerts there. You can go hungry to the Gray Eagle because it hosts the Twin Cousins Kitchen, serving up authentic Cajun cuisine. The Gray Eagle has a capacity of just over 600 people and is NON-SMOKING. All ages are welcome, beer and wine is served.
