First you may be wondering what The Big Event is. It is one of the largest, one-day, student-run community service projects in the nation. Over 3,000 volunteers in the Tallahassee area show up to unite and serve the community that we all call home.

Speakers will include FSU President John Thrasher, Leon County Schools Superintendent Rocky Hanna, FSU Professor Mark Ziegler and other notable leaders in the community as well as entertainment provided by DJs and the Garnet and Gold Girls.

Directly after the initial kickoff, students and faculty from FSU and Florida A&M University and Tallahassee Community College will be assigned various community service projects all around the Tallahassee area and will work all day to see them to completion.
