About The Big Event

 

What Do Volunteers Do?

Enthusiastic Big Event volunteers participate in various community service tasks such as painting, landscaping, removing trash from roadways, and visiting with veterans and senior citizens on this one BIG day.

The Big Event enjoys working with student groups to provide great opportunities to fit their specific strengths and desires. For example, The Big Event has worked with OU students of music in order to allow them the opportunity to sing at nursing homes. The Big Event has also worked closely with construction students’ groups to place them in situations that give them the chance to build structures, such as sheds. By doing this, it becomes mutually beneficial to both the community and the students.
