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.
Tour de Summer Camps is a community cycling fundraiser, in which all proceeds will benefit scholarships for kids to attend Jewish summer camps. All across Simi Valley and beyond, riders will have the option to an 18-mile, 36-mile, 62-mile and 100-mile route. Since 2013, the annual event has raised nearly $1 million, and they need your help to ensure that same rate of success this year! Volunteer today!
