The Big Event Executive Team would like to thank the following sponsors for their generous sponsorship of The 2019 Big Event. Without these sponsors, we would not be able to complete over 30,000 service hours in just one day throughout the New River Valley.
Our sponsors allow 10,000 students to complete 1,150 projects, impacting thousands of residents across Blacksburg, Christiansburg and the New River Valley every year. Specifically, the money goes to pay for our tools, the storage units that they are stored in and the volunteer t-shirt, which helps to advertise the Big Event across town.
Are you interested in donating to the 2019 Big Event?
Simply contact our Fundraising Team.
Thank you to our 2019 Sponsors:
