The Big Event is a student-run community service event at Bloomsburg University that gives our students the opportunity to help and assist businesses and residents of the Town of Bloomsburg and it's surrounding communities.
This single-day community service event — started here at Bloomsburg in 2010 — and is held every spring semester by the Community Government Association of Bloomsburg University. By registering your group or organization, you'll have a great chance to serve local areas and gain community service hours. This event is open to all students on campus. Students interested in signing up for this year's Big Event can do so by registering now!
We can always use your help, your donation can assist in covering the cost of trash bags, gloves, T-shirts, and other needed supplies to make this event happen each year. These supplies will help us clean up the town of Bloomsburg during our day of service. Every gift matters, no matter the size. You can make your gift today by GIVING NOW!
