    Who Invested in You? Building the Next Generation of Leaders
    Behind every great leader is someone who saw their potential, opened a door, offered advice or simply believed in them before they fully believed in themselves.
    Join Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati for the 2026 Big Breakfast, an inspiring morning exploring the people and relationships that shape great leaders and the role each of us can play in developing the next generation.
    Moderated by Michelle Hopkins, Cincy Lifestyle Co-Host at WCPO 9, this year's conversation will feature three accomplished Greater Cincinnati leaders:
    Melvin J. Gravely, II, Executive Chair, Triversity Construction
    Harry Snyder, President & CEO, Great Oaks Career Campuses
    Amy Spiller, State President, Duke Energy Ohio & Kentucky
    Together, they'll share candid stories about the mentors, sponsors and pivotal relationships that influenced their own journeys, while exploring what today's young people need from leaders, employers and our community to reach their full potential.
    Come for breakfast. Leave inspired to think about who invested in you, and whose potential you can help ignite next.
    Proceeds from the Big Breakfast support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati and our work to create and support life-changing mentoring relationships for young people across Greater Cincinnati.

In Support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati
We create life-changing friendships by matching adult mentors with  at-risk Tri-State children in need of positive role models.  We partner with parents and guardians, volunteers and others in the community, and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program. Statistics show these Little Brothers and Sisters have higher aspirations, greater confidence, do better in school and avoid risky behaviors.
