Our names are Tatum West and Kevin Nguyen, and we are reaching out on behalf of The Big Event at Texas A&M University. We are Committee Members under the Donor Relations Team here at The Big Event. Since its introduction in 1982, The Big Event has become the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation. Each spring, tens of thousands of Texas A&M students come together to say “Thank You” to the residents of Bryan and College Station. For the past 42 years, Aggie students have participated in this annual event to show their appreciation to the surrounding community, completing service projects such as yard work, window washing, and painting for residents of the community. Although The Big Event has become the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation, our message and our mission remains the same – to simply say “Thank You.” For more information on our mission, please visit https://bigevent.tamu.edu/.

As we prepare for the upcoming fundraising effort, our annual Donor Gala, we are excited to announce a silent auction that will be a key feature of this event. The proceeds from the auction will directly support our initiatives aimed at providing all resources needed for “The Big Event”. In light of this, we kindly request your support and contribution to the silent auction by donating items that can be auctioned off during the event. Your generosity would play a crucial role in making the auction a success and enabling us to achieve our fundraising goals.

Your contributions will be prominently displayed and acknowledged during the event, providing excellent visibility and recognition for your generosity.

If you are able to contribute or require further information regarding the event or the silent auction, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would be more than happy to arrange for item collection or answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering our request and for your continuous support of our initiatives at Texas A&M University. Your contribution will undoubtedly make a difference and contribute to the success of the "Big Event."
