Christine Garcia, chief executive officer of Big Brothers, Big Sisters of San Juan County, said about 2,500 children attended last year's event, and she expects this year’s turnout to increase.

More than 1,700 students are expected to attend on Friday, and the event is open to the public on Saturday.
