Howdy!

I am a student at Texas A&M University and currently serving as Sponsorship Coordinator for The Big Event, the largest student-run service project in the nation.

The mission of The Big Event is simple: to create a day in which students can express their gratitude to our surrounding community. On March 28, 2015, over 21,000 Aggie students woke up early to serve over 2,400 residents of the Bryan/College Station area. While we are incredibly proud of 2015, we could not be more excited to make the 34th Annual Big Event on April 2, 2016 an even greater success! To get a better idea of what we do, please take a look at our promo video here.

As a student-run organization, we are responsible for raising the funds necessary to promote and execute this day of service. Between tool purchases, participant t-shirts, and liability insurance, we operate on an annual budget of approximately $150,000, 90% of which we have to raise after receiving student fees and university grants. The majority of the remaining funds are raised through corporate sponsorships.

The Big Event needs your help. I am asking if you, or perhaps your employer, are interested in partnering with The Big Event this year, to please let me know. The Big Event is something that makes Texas A&M unique and is the perfect example of why Texas A&M is the greatest university on earth. We offer different levels of sponsorship depending on donation amount. I can be reached at trentarm6@gmail.com for any inquires and questions you may have.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you!

Is this scam still going?

As a thank you to me, a member of the community, who do I talk to about having one of the sororities wash my windows?

Bryan/college station would be nothing if not for Texas A&M. If anything the BCS community should have been mowing our lawns while we were students there.

just start a GoFundMe

Huzzah! We can pick one day to feel good about ourselves!

One Big Event we helped a chap install his Kegerator and then proceeded to get **** faced.

Was a great time, glad the community paid for it.

We had to help some rich lady paint her guest rooms. Then she *****ed about it not being to her standard and told us to leave.

Then we went and got drunk.

You get a t-shirt now for volunteering for Big Event?

I think only the people in the big event organization get t-shirts. Not volunteers.

At least that's how it was when I was in school

Every student that participates gets a shirt.

That is what bothers me about this event. People who have plenty of resources use this event to get free labor instead of letting these volunteers really put their time and hard work into helping the community. I'm not sure how it could be managed, but in my opinion, but lower income people and/or areas should be the target, as well as sprucing up various public areas around the community.

In any case, my hat is off to all those who organize and volunteer for this every year. I know they put in a lot of hard work for this.

That was my wife. You guys must have been drunk before you arrived because it looked like a 4 year old finger painting. I had to fix it myself. I can't believe college students can't even paint straight.

We set fence posts around some wankers pool and back yard.

After about 5 posts the fellow running the level asked what the bubble was for.

Exactly! One year we ended up in a lower income area and helped an elderly woman weed her yard. That was rewarding.

The sweet old lady even bought us pizza and got to know us.

IMO, that's exactly how it should go down! Thanks, by the way, for volunteering to help our community.

one time all we did was move furniture for the university day care or some boring stuff like that.

Is it true Big Event coordinators held a meeting last night while A&M was playing LSU in hoops?

It was a bunch of liberal arts majors. I assure you, we could paint.

Post tits OP. We won't read this crap otherwise

Yay! Go volunteer for townies who hate us!

I'm low income and they are going to dig a trench for a french drain so my house quits floating every time it rains. You can all feel better now.
