The Big Event Tallahassee is a non-profit student-run organization. We will be hosting our annual service event, “The Big Event,” on February 27th this year. This event will involve groups of volunteer students from FSU, FAMU, and TCC working together to dedicate a day of service to the Tallahassee community. We have a comprehensive plan to follow COVID-19 protocols and guidelines to ensure the event is executed in a safe and effective manner with social distancing precautions. We are the largest student-run service event in Tallahassee and usually have upwards of 1000 volunteers; this year, we’re making sure that we limit each service site to a certain number of volunteers to ensure everyone’s wellbeing. Our event plan has been approved and backed by the Florida State University administration, and has received funding from various sponsors around town. You can read more about our COVID-19 plan on our website
Why I joined the Chamber
“The Chamber is all about being given the opportunity to form relationships through networking. In Leads Groups, you spend quality time with other businesses, and often gain “Access” (another Chamber group focusing on younger members) to their connections as well. In Leadership Tallahassee, you gain a new family of business leaders, and are guaranteed exposure to something or some group you were not familiar with, while broadening your understanding of all things “Tallahassee”. With LT’s Building Better Boards, you get to spend an evening with a great, philanthropic/altruistic group who are learning to serve their nonprofits more effectively. With the Chamber Conference, you get to spend quality time off-site and in a more casual setting while learning more about our community. Is the Chamber helpful for your business? Absolutely – especially if you join, engage, and take advantage of the great programs they offer!”
