Students can commit to performing good deeds today at Turlington Plaza in honor of those who died on 9/11.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., students can fill out forms documenting the choice of their good deed and attach them to pictures of those who died in the terrorist attacks 10 years ago.
These will be attached to a mini wooden replica of the Twin Towers and be called the "Twin Towers of good deeds and love."
The pictures were taken from a 9/11 memorial website.
"When you actually see a picture of a mother, firefighter, businessman, you relate to it on a whole different level," said Rabbi Berl Goldman, executive director of the Lubavitch-Chabad Jewish Student and Community Center at UF, which is sponsoring the event.
Students can perform deeds ranging from calling their grandmothers to donating blood. A flier will be handed out at the event with a detailed list of good deeds people can perform.
"The replica is used as a memorial wall and to encourage others to participate," Goldman said.
The event has been held for the past few years, but Goldman expects a larger turnout this year because of the 10-year anniversary.
Last year, more than 900 people committed to performing good deeds.
"It is an event that is unique because every single person can participate regardless of race or religion," Goldman said.
The event is free and open to the public.
There will be a moment of silence at 12:45 p.m. to remember the victims of 9/11.
"We feel that this is turning darkness into light," Goldman said.
