SOS 2010 is January 16th, 2010 from 8am - 2pm
Stampede of Service is USF’s largest day of service. 2009 was a record-breaking year with over 2500 students coming out to serve. This day of service was the largest community service project in USF’s history. If you want to help make history happen in 2010 sign up to volunteer today!
Stampede of Service was founded in 2006 by a student, Maxon Victor, who wanted to celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. It has now become one of the largest traditions that USF has to offer. This one day community service celebration is led by students to get the word out about volunteering. In 2009, 2600 students participated in the event. Students are assigned a social issue and sent throughout Hillsborough County learning and engaging in service for the day. Spend time with friends or with your student organization and have FUN!
The purpose of SOS is to get students involved! Even though this is a one-day event, we give the students the resources to continue participating in community service on a constant basis.
SOS serves more than 60 different organizations in the Tampa Bay community, volunteering with:
- Senior Citizens
- The Environment
- Youth
- Homelessness
- Poverty
- Women’s Issues
- Education
- And many more
Thank you very much for all your support and commitment to SOS 2010! We now have a record breaking year with more than 3,500 participants signed up for this year’s event!
