Still in need of some Community Service hours? The BIG Event, the largest student-run community service project in Michigan, will take place on Saturday, April 12, 2014 beginning at Top Taggart Field. As part of this effort, Ferris students spend an entire Saturday giving back to the Big Rapids community. Homeowners can apply for anything from having their leaves raked to having their house painted. The purpose of the event is for Ferris students to show their appreciation for the community in which they reside.
