On exhibit in Ontario since March 2017, the whale was recently packed in crates and sent on a tour of four venues across Canada, with a further international tour possible. Packing the whale into shipping crates took approximately a week. A particular challenge involved wrapping the plastinated heart, which is described as having the girth of a small automobile.

Many of the Littles come from underserved communities in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens. By matching these children with Bigs, the organization provides an environment in which Bigs can positively impact the lives of Littles.

Male volunteers interested in providing a positive example to Littles in New York can apply to become Bigs through the organization. Applicants must be at least 21 years old. Once accepted and matched with Littles, Bigs are required to meet with their Littles at least twice a month, for at least four hours per session, for at least a year. 

The entire process from application to matching takes an average of 45 days. After an applicant files an application, BBBS staff members review it and invite him or her to a volunteer orientation to learn more about the role. The applicant is then screened and a background check performed. Afterward, the applicant receives training on the qualities of a good big as well as tips on handling situations that could arise.
