The Big Event 

The Big Event at VCU is a one-day, student-run service project where Rams come together to say “Thank You” to the residents of Richmond. VCU Student Government Association is excited to provide leadership and vision for a new tradition that shows our appreciation to the surrounding community, completing service projects such as yard work, window washing and painting for residents of the community. We share in the mission of similar programs throughout the nation - "One Big Help, One Big Day."


The Big Event at VCU is a collaboration of the Student Government Association and Division of Community Engagement.
