To prepare for Big Event, OU’s day of community service, Sooners can attend a benefit night at Diamond Dawgs on April 9 during the Big Event Kick Off Week.
Diamond Dawgs, located at 753 Asp Ave., will host the benefit night from 5 to 10 p.m., and 15 percent of proceeds from the night will go toward Big Event, said Sheyda Zakerion, Big Event chair.
Unlike some benefit nights, students do not need to mention Big Event at Diamond Dawgs to raise money for Big Event, Zakerion said.
Also, volunteers can pick up their volunteer shirts during the kick off week through Thursday at the following locations:
April 6
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.: Oklahoma Memorial Union's Conoco Student Leadership Wing, floor 3
6 to 8:30 p.m.: Chi Omega sorority house, 820 Chautauqua Ave.
April 7
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.: Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Beaird Lounge
6 to 8:30 p.m.: Walker Tower
April 8
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.: Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Beaird Lounge
6 to 8:30 p.m.: Gamma Phi Beta, 1105 S. College Ave.
April 9
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.: Conoco Student Leadership Wing, floor 3

Students should bring their student IDs to pick up their volunteer shirts. Those who have already registered for Big Event and have signed a liability form can pick up their shirts, Zakerion said.
Those who haven’t will need to sign the waiver before they can receive their shirts. Computers will be available for students to sign waivers, as well as hard copies of the waivers, Zakerion said.
Big Event will take place April 11, beginning at 8:30 a.m. on the North Oval for opening ceremonies.
