The Leavitt Great West team was proud to be part of that collective effort — stepping in to help plan, organize, and participate throughout the event. From early coordination to on-site support, our people exemplified what teamwork and community partnership look like in action.
Supporting the Mission
The 2025 Big Sky Bird & Birdie event raised funds to benefit Friends of the Children – Eastern Montana, an organization that pairs youth with paid, professional mentors for 12+ years — from kindergarten through high school graduation — to help break cycles of generational poverty and trauma.
“I can’t thank you enough for your generosity. Your event was absolutely fantastic, and we felt so blessed and lucky to be your beneficiary.”
— Executive Director, Friends of the Children – Eastern Montana
Since its inception, Big Sky Bird & Birdie has raised more than $400,000 to support local nonprofits and youth-focused initiatives, continuing its legacy of community care and connection.
The Power of Teamwork
At Leavitt Great West, events like this reflect what our team values most: collaboration, connection, and giving back together.
“Our Leavitt Team is committed to supporting causes that primarily focus on the kid’s futures in our communities,” said Holly Cremer, Team Lead, Leavitt Great West “We’re grateful to play a role alongside so many generous sponsors and volunteers who make this event impactful each year.”
This year’s Bird & Birdie once again showed what’s possible when people come together for a shared mission — making an impact that extends far beyond the event itself.
Together, over 30 incredible businesses not only locally here in Billings but having people come from eight different states to create an environment where fun can be had, partnerships could grow, and where local children and families could benefit from meaningful community investment. The event would not be possible without the genuine people that support Big Sky Bird & Birdie from the Social until the lights go out after the awards ceremony!
Capturing the Memories
A special thank you goes out to Elly Frank Photography for beautifully capturing the energy, joy, and community spirit of the event. Her photos help tell the story of what Big Sky Bird & Birdie is all about — connection, generosity, and impact.
Looking Ahead
As Big Sky Bird & Birdie continues to grow each year, so does the impact of the collective effort behind it. The Leavitt Great West team is proud to support an event that reflects the best of Montana in hopes we’re making a difference — one child, one family, and one event at a time.
“It’s For The Kid’s”
