Celebrating Success: Big Brothers Big Sisters Wins Most Outstanding Video of the Year

Big Brothers Big Sisters recently found itself in the spotlight for a powerful reason—winning *Most Outstanding Video of the Year* at the Deucey Awards. This exciting milestone highlights more than just a compelling video; it celebrates the heart of a community-driven mission and the people behind it. Executive Director **Megyn Forrest** and her team brought their story to life with authenticity, passion, and purpose—and UnoDeuce Multimedia was proud to help bring that story to the screen.

For Megyn, this wasn’t just a typical recognition. “It’s so exciting,” she said. “My team, my board—we’re all thrilled, and we’ve been shouting it from the rooftops.” That enthusiasm comes from knowing that this moment honors years of hard work and the deep relationships built through mentorship.

The video itself showcased not only the incredible impact of the “Bigs” and “Littles” but also lifted up the staff and community who make these connections possible. “What was really special is we were not only celebrating and highlighting our program and mentorship,” Megyn shared, “but also our team and staff—people who fully believe in our mission.”

This marked Big Brothers Big Sisters’ first collaboration with UnoDeuce, and the process was one of openness and trust. Megyn and her team invited the video crew to everything—events, interviews, daily interactions—creating an environment where authentic moments could unfold naturally. “The process was wonderful,” she said. “We loved working with you and your team.”

And the results speak for themselves. The video became a central piece of the organization’s *Big Breakfast*—their largest annual fundraiser—helping the community feel the impact of mentorship firsthand. “That’s where it made the most impact,” Megyn explained. “Hearing directly from the Bigs, Littles, and families—it brings the mission to life.”

When the nomination came, it was a surprise—but a welcome one. Megyn and her team quickly went to work rallying community support and using the spotlight to lift up not just their agency, but fellow nominees as well. “We saw it as an opportunity to celebrate all of us.”

Winning the Deucey Award was the cherry on top of an already meaningful experience. While the trophy is still on its way, the pride and excitement are already felt throughout the organization. And this win? It’s just the beginning.

Looking ahead, Big Brothers Big Sisters is more energized than ever. Megyn encourages the community to keep following their journey and get involved—whether by becoming a mentor, donating, attending events, or simply sharing the story.

Their message is clear: storytelling has power. And when done with heart, it can inspire an entire community to rally behind a mission. Here’s to big wins, big hearts, and the incredible work still to come.
