The Big Event
The Big Event started in 1982 at Texas A&M University. It has grown to become the biggest one-day, student-led service project in the United States.
Following their example, Brenham will have its own Big Event for the first time with Brenham GameChangers and Brenham ISD on October 4, 2025! High school students will be able to join this one-day service event.
There will be different projects happening on each BISD campus, and students will work alongside volunteers from our community.
The goal of the Brenham Big Event is to bring our community together by helping others and taking care of the campuses we use every day.

"The Brenham Big Event was an incredible reminder of the power of community. We are grateful for what The Big Event provided, an opportunity for people to come together and do what we are called to do at the core… serve. It filled me up working alongside my guys, watching them put their heads down and work for something bigger than themselves. It was inspiring to see students and residents united in purpose, proving that even small efforts can make a big impact when we serve together."

Melissa Boenker,
Principal, BISD ECLC
"It truly warmed our hearts to see the community pull together to donate their time, resources and lots of sweat making our campus a more beautiful and friendly place. The wheelchair ramp provides our students and staff a more accommodating path to the gym making their daily lives easier, and the fresh paint job in the gym sends a more welcoming message to our children, staff and visitors. This outpouring of love was greatly appreciated by ALL!"
