Annually, more than 10,000 students, faculty, staff, and residents band together to make the Big Event a resounding success. Talk about a community effort!

Behind the Scenes: Planning the Excitement

Putting together the Big Event is no small feat. In fact, it’s a huge operation requiring around 370 internal staff members to oversee approximately 15,000 volunteers who are ready to make a difference for about 2,300 local residents. The planning starts a whole year in advance and involves meticulous coordination among various committees, focusing on different aspects of the event. As you can see, it’s a well-oiled machine fueled by the passion and commitment of the Texas A&M community.

Bridging the Gap Since 1982

Since its inception in 1982, the Big Event has consistently provided a wonderful opportunity for Aggies and residents to engage and support one another. Community members are always sharing positive stories and experiences from past events, creating a heartfelt connection that lingers long after the event has ended.

A Unique Kick-Off Ceremony

To kick things off, there will be a lively ceremony featuring inspiring speeches, free food, and even some tunes to get everyone in the spirit! The event will be graced by notable figures like the University President and the football coach, making it not just a day of service but a celebration of community pride.

Building Connections, One Task at a Time

Volunteers will not only tackle household chores and chores on the list, but they’ll also have the chance to connect personally with residents. The job checks conducted before the event ensure that everyone involved is familiar with the specific needs of the households they’ll be helping. It’s about more than just the work; it’s about the connections that are forged and the friendships that blossom.

Why It Matters

Local resident Rachel DeLeon shared how the Big Event positively impacted her life in previous years, fostering connections and a sense of community that are hard to find elsewhere. The help provided is valuable not just for residents, but also enriches the lives of volunteers who gain new perspectives and friendships throughout the process.

Support the Cause
