Be a part of The Big Event on Saturday, March 21st! 

 
On the same day that our Aggies are giving back to the Bryan/College Station community, the Collin County Aggie Moms will be serving in our own backyard. 
 
The Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization providing hope to children and families victimized by child abuse. They are planning a fundraising gala in April, so they have lots of work and projects to be done to prepare for the event.
 


Please RSVP to let us know that you would like to participate in the tradition of Big Event. (Spouses and students are welcome to attend!)

Past Big Event Activities

In the past, Collin County Aggie Moms has helped throughout the community on Big Event! We have packed meals at Feed My Starving Children in Richardson, helped to beautify the Texas A&M Agri-Life Facility by installing plantings, yard clean-up and other chores, and made Mother's Day Gift Baskets for the clients of Hope's Door. 

 

 

History:

Nothing shows the Aggie tradition of service like the Big Event--the largest one-day student-run service project in the nation. Big Event began unceremoniously in 1982 with six Aggies volunteering to clean up a local cemetery. Since that time, an ever-increasing number of Aggies have volunteered their time in order to create, as they say, "one big day, one big thanks, and one Big Event." In 2015 more than 22,000 Texas A&M students, faculty and staff came together to say "thank you" to the residents of Bryan/College Station for supporting and hosting them while they attend Texas A&M. Spreading throughout the community, Aggie Volunteers worked on approximately 2,500 community service jobs.

 

Big Event has expanded to 110 other schools across the nation and, in 2014, it went international for the first time, with schools participating in Spain, Australia, Germany, Pakistan and Italy.
