The Big Event is just around the corner for Florida State University and this year, they are kicking off with an event to get every club, every organization, every student the chance to make a difference in the Tallahassee community.
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.
The big kickoff for The Big Event is happening Saturday, March 25TH starting at 8:30am at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. 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.
This event is something Florida State and the rest of the Tallahassee community look forward to each year and are looking for the best turnout yet this year, to get involved head to https://thebigevent.fsu.edu.
