The Big Event has been able to help hundreds of project sites through the years. Project sites are the locations in which approximately 900 students per year have helped in some magnitude towards bettering our community.
Volunteer projects go from 9:30 am to noon on the day of The Big Event.
Project Site examples include volunteers helping with:
- Painting, refurbishing, and pressure washing
- Environmental sustainability and beautification
- Landscaping, weeding, and mulching
- School carnivals
- 5k run
- Organizing and cleaning storage rooms
- Craft projects for kids
- Building animal shelters and more!
