TIPS 2025: TWO NIGHTS!
FEBRUARY 4 from 5-8 p.m., and MARCH 4 from 5-8 p.m. 


AT PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS ALL OVER ST. JOHNS COUNTY!

Every year, our annual "Tips for Kids' Sake" dinner event provides an opportunity to enjoy a great dinner, be entertained and support a good cause, all at the same time! ​This ever-popular event places local "Celebrity Waiters" at local restaurants, where they work to wait tables and collect tips. Then, all tips are donated back to Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Johns County (BBBS).
The local celebs are tasked with recruiting their family, friends and colleagues to come and sit in their section during "Tips for Kids' Sake".  We also encouraged them to dress up in accordance with the annual theme (2025 is Favorite Movie Star!); in the past, we've had famous faces, politicians, superheroes, you name it! Coming out to a "Tips" restaurant will guarantee you dinner and a show! 

"Tips" is the major fundraiser of the year for Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Johns County.  All funds raised goes to expand mentoring programs throughout St. Johns County, allowing us to reach more kids in the community. We place children in professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that ‘change children's live for the better, forever’. ​

​For more information, contact Big Brothers Big Sisters at
(904) 829-9986.
