one big day. one big thanks.
Community Groups

 

It is simple. The Big Event assists those who so admirably help others. We strive to assist various community-based and non-profit organizations and agencies—large and small, new and old.

The Big Event is now accepting applications from community organizations as Job Site participants in this year's event on April 5th.

On one big day, the Big Event unites more than 5,000 students, faculty, and staff for one purpose: to give back to a community that has supported our university throughout the years. The Big Event realizes that as a community or non-profit organization, you spend countless hours helping others in numerous ways. This is the chance to let us help you. On Saturday, April 5, 2008, we will send out volunteers to say thank you by completing service projects at your location.

You give yourselves and your time all year long, let us come and serve you.

Community groups The Big Event has served in the past include:

  • Social Service Agencies
  • Neighborhood Associations
  • Public School Systems
  • Nursing/Assisted Living Centers
  • Child and Family Advocacy Groups
  • Religious Organizations
  • Animal Advocacy Organizations
  • Food Pantries
