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.

Mar 5 @ 2:30 pm

Join our friends at Program for Torture Victims (PTV) as they Ride for Human Rights!  PTV rebuilds the lives of torture survivors from over 70 countries who have stood up for freedom, democracy, and human dignity.

Don’t miss a chance to support this great organization on Saturday, March 5 at the SoulCycle Pasadena Studio. Soulcycle makes fitness joyful. You’ll climb, jog, sprint, dance, set intentions and break through boundaries. The best part? You’ll do it together, as a community.

REGISTER TO RIDE FOR ONLY $35 OR IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT, SPONSOR TEAM PTV!

SoulCycle is an engaging and inspirational workout, filled with energizing music and positivity that benefits both the body and mind.

Only this time you’re not just benefiting yourself–100% of proceeds will go to support local survivors of torture, persecution, and other human rights abuse who have fled to the U.S. for freedom and safety.

Limited seats left! There are many choices: You can make a team gift, sponsor a specific rider, ride, or ride and raise funds for PTV survivors. Questions? Contact Sophie Westacott at swestacott@ptvla.org or 917-698-9417.PTV logo
