A second Climb For Kids' Sake is slated for September 2008.Almost $300,000 was raised for Big Brothers Big Sisters during the evening, through a silent auction and the &quot;Fund A Match&quot; program, in which money is donated by event attendees to support many of the organization's services.  In accepting the award, Davidson thanked the Big Brothers Big Sisters Bergen Passaic and Morris county staff for this honor and recognized the work of the many &quot;Bigs&quot; in the audience. Describing what it means to be a mentor, he challenged everyone in attendance to make a commitment to help out a child in need and become a &quot;Big.&quot; He stressed that &quot;the world will be a different place tomorrow, simply because you made a decision to make a difference here tonight.&quot;Big Brothers Big Sisters is the primary charitable cause for the entire Coldwell Banker Commercial organization.
