Thousands of Aggies to give back in The Big Event
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas (FOX 44) – The largest single-day student-led service event in the nation will be happening in the Brazos Valley this Saturday!
Texas A&M University's Big Event was introduced in 1982, and since then has brought tens of thousands of students together to say 'Thank You' to residents of Bryan and College Station. Aggies will complete service projects such as yard work, window washing and painting for residents of the community.
The message and the mission for The Big Event remains the same — to simply say 'Thank You.' It is a proud member of the Student Government Association at Texas A&M, and a recognized student organization of the university.
The timeline for The Big Event is below:
8 a.m. — Volunteer check-in begins at Aggie Park with vendors and entertainment. Individuals in white polos, Executive members and Directors, are available for quotes.
