The Big Event 2027
By The Big Event
Support the student volunteers of Virginia Tech to help them give back to residents of Blacksburg and the New River Valley.
Support the student volunteers of Virginia Tech to help them give back to residents of Blacksburg and the New River Valley. The Big Event In 2027, The Big Event at Virginia Tech celebrates its 25th anniversary! Since 2002, The Big Event at Virginia Tech has completed tens of thousands of service projects and has sent even more student volunteers to homeowners all across Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and the New River Valley. The Big Event follows the famous Virginia Tech saying, "Ut Prosim" as its calling to serve our local surrounding community and is how the organization made its saying, "One big day. One big thanks. One big event." In 2026, more than 6,300 volunteers completed nearly 1,200 service projects throughout the Virginia Tech community. From spreading mulch and cleaning windows to painting and completing yardwork, these projects give Hokies the opportunity to thank the neighbors who make our community feel like home. All projects are completed free of charge for participating residents, and your support helps cover the event’s operating costs so that thousands of volunteers can come together for this day of service. All smiles from the volunteers after a great day of hard work and giving back! The funds from this campaign will all go towards day of operations for The Big Event which includes the t-shirts given to the volunteers, the stage for our opening ceremonies, and food for our staff. The t-shirts are the most important, as they allow homeowners to distinguish the volunteers from other Blacksburg residents and/or Virginia Tech students, helping to ensure The Big Event is safe for both our volunteers and homeowners. Staff giving out shirts to the volunteers Help us make one big day of service possible! A gift of any size helps support the volunteers and operations behind The Big Event. Please consider donating today and sharing this campaign with friends, family, and fellow Hokies. See you on April 3rd, 2027!

Access to Opportunities & Mentoring in Science (ATOMS) Program
By College of Science
Support our first-generation college students
Support our first-generation college students College of Science Support first-generation college students as they navigate academic life, find community, and reach their goals. Your gift will directly support resources and programs that help first generation college students build confidence and feel connected, from individual peer mentoring to academic workshops. In partnership with Public Health, ATOMS (Access to Opportunities & Mentoring in Science) Program is our flagship peer mentoring experience, pairing incoming students with upper-level science majors to help guide them through their first year at Virginia Tech. These small mentoring pods meet weekly and connect students to the people, tools, and advice they need to succeed. We target our program towards first-generation college students to support their transition to college. Since starting in 2022, we have supported over 450 first year students through ATOMS. Our goal is to raise $7,500 to support these efforts and expand access to mentoring, research opportunities, and student support services. We host engaging weekly events throughout the semester from office hours and workshops to social mixers and research panels. These events help students build community, confidence, and a strong academic network for first generation college students. Your gift will directly support resources and programs that help first generation college students build confidence, connect with mentors, and thrive from the ATOMS peer mentoring program to academic workshops and study nights. Whether you’re sponsoring a coffee chat, a student-led event, or a full mentoring pod, your contribution helps first-generation students feel supported and seen. Join us in building a stronger, more connected science community one step at a time.
