Big Sunday happily welcomes you to Our Really Big Community Calendar

We try to include all kinds of volunteering and helping opportunities for all kinds of interests, talents, passions, and ages! As you’ll see, these include volunteering opportunities (one-time and long-term) as well as the chance to support a nonprofit by attending fundraising events. Plus, of course, we include all of Big Sunday’s homegrown events, too! Whoever you are, and whatever you do, there is someone out there who could use your help.

If you have questions about our calendar, or would like to add a listing, please contact calendar@bigsunday.org or submit your event/opportunity via the button below.

Adopt a Tree! @ Memory Row

Help grow our urban forest by Adopting a Tree and honoring a loved one!

Tree Musketeers’ Community Forester will work with you to select from the species and locations available on Memory Row, where Memory Trees are planted. The Tree Adoption Ceremony will be held on Saturday, August 20th. Complete your Memory Tree Reservation Form today!

Adopting a tree is also great for those who:
* Live in an apartment with no place to own a tree
* Want to give a unique gift to tree-loving friends
* Want to mark a birth, passing, wedding, birthday, or personal accomplishment
* Want to help but don’t know how
* Are too young to handle the tools necessary to plant a tree
