The Big Event Tallahassee

One of the largest, one-day, student-run service projects in the nation where students come together to say ‘thank you’ to the residents of their college town.

A tradition started at Texas A&M University 28 years ago, The Big Event will serve as the official community service event for the Florida State University Student Government. Students, faculty, and staff will participate in this annual event to show their appreciation to the surrounding community by completing service projects such as yard work, window washing, and painting for community members.

Although The Big Event has become one of the largest one-day, student-run service projects in the nation, our message and our mission will be to simply say “thank you.”

The BIG Event at the Florida State University is an initiative by the Student Government Association. This initiative strives to embody the ideals of unity and service. This one-day event is not based on socioeconomic need, but rather a way for the student body to join with faculty and staff and express their gratitude to the entire community which supports Florida State University. It is important to remember The BIG Event is not about the number of jobs completed or the number of students who participate each year. Instead, it is the interaction between the Florida State University community and Tallahassee residents and the unity that results throughout the community that makes The BIG Event such a unique project.
