About The Big Event

Since its introduction in 2006, The Big Event at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has become the largest, one-day, student-run service project in the state of Nebraska. 

The Big Event promotes campus and community unity as thousands of UNL students come together to say “Thank You” and express gratitude to the residents and nonprofits of Lincoln and Lancaster County.
