Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal & Northern New Jersey is honored to be among the nonprofit organizations selected to receive FIFA World Cup 2026™ tickets through a partnership between New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill and Airbnb.

The initiative provided New Jersey youth with access to this once-in-a-generation sporting event, ensuring that children who may not otherwise have the opportunity can experience the excitement, inspiration, and cultural significance of the FIFA World Cup firsthand. Through this generous donation, 40 young people (and their Bigs!) in our program created lasting memories while feeling connected to a global event taking place right in their own backyard.
