About
What is The Big Event?
The Big Event was introduced in 1982 at Texas A&M University and has become the largest one-day, student-run service project in the United States.
Modeled after Texas A&M's program, The Big Event in Keller ISD on April 12, 2025, will also be a one-day service project open to all KISD students, their parents and guardians, teachers, and staff members from all of our 42 campuses. Each campus will participate in various service activities, which will be age- and grade-level appropriate, and will vary from campus to campus and community to community.
Our event is designed to not only join and unite our district together through service-oriented activities, but also to tangibly say, "Thank you," to those in the community who support the District. Please click below for answers to frequently asked questions about The Big Event!
