"Hands-On" original artwork
"Hands-On" is a painting specifically created by the Big Black Tie Ball's Featured Artist, Reginald Adams and was produced through a series of interactive experiences where the “treetops” meet the “grassroots”. Each hand print on the painting is symbolic of all of the people that are necessary for an organization like Big Brothers Big Sisters to effectively achieve its mission. The painting includes dozens of hand prints from BBBS board members, staff, the event chair-Gerald Smith, and more than 16 Bigs and Littles. The collage of these bold and brightly colored handprints create a diverse mosaic of color much like the diversity of people that come together year after year to support the work of BBBS.

Paris & Prague - 7 night Discovery Package for Two
Enjoy a three-night stay at the Hyatt Regency Paris Madeleine AND a four-night stay in a Junior Suite of the Hotel Prague (airfare from Paris to Prague included). In Paris, the range and number of activities and things to do here is only limited by how good a time you want to have. Among all these activities are some that just can't be missed, such as visiting at least some of the hundreds of Parisian museums such as the Louvre, going on tours around the French capital and marveling at sights such as the Notre Dame Cathedral, the famous Eiffel Tower, or the slightly hair-raising experience of strolling through the Catacombes des Paris. Going shopping in Paris means taking a walk around the Marais district, with its trendy boutiques. And if you're a sports fan, in Paris you can enjoy a game played by one of the city's professional teams or participate yourself by going along to one of the various sports centers where you can play your favorite sport.
In Prague, experience a fairy-tale town of magical beauty sitting at the very heart of Europe. Imagine the picturesque Prague Castle with its truly magnificent St. Vitus’s Cathedral or the tiny fairy-tale like Golden Lane. There are countless captivating churches such as the Loreto or the Church of St. Nicholas. Or you can try to hunt down the treasures hidden in the Jewish Quarter or visit some of the monasteries such as Strahov Monastry or its Breznov colleague. Old Town Square is filled with terraces, restaurants, cafés, souvenir shops and galleries, and is the starting point for the horse-drawn romantic carriage rides. Once you experience the mystical atmosphere of narrow streets and feel the cobble stones underneath your feet, you will believe that Prague is truly magical.
Package also includes a four-course candelit dinner for two at Vltava Restaurant in Prague, two massages, and your choice of a jazz boat ride, horse-drawn carriage ride or concert performance for two.
