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.

Jun 10 @ 2:00 pm – Jun 10 @ 7:00 pm

The OPCC and Lamp Community Summer Fundraiser is just around the corner on Saturday, June 11th and they need help from volunteers to staff the event to ensure it is a success! This fundraiser is hosted by the Vintage Hollywood Foundation and it raises critical funds that help these organizations keep their doors open to provide services to the community’s most vulnerable neighbors. 

There are 3 shifts that need to be filled and they’ll need a LOT of hands on deck!

  • Friday June 10th, 2016 – 2:00pm – 7:00pm – 15 volunteers needed
  • Saturday June 11th, 2016 – 9:00am – 2:00pm – 15 volunteers needed 
  • Saturday June 11th, 2016 – 4:00pm – 10:30pm –  30 volunteers needed (must be 21 years or older**)


What roles can you fill?

  • Event set-up – strong and able bodied volunteers needed to assist in setting up the event space up
  • Check in & Registration – volunteers will ensure all guests, media and celebrities are checked in
  • Silent & live auction monitors – volunteers who love playing on cell phones are needed, as they will be using an electronic bidding system that works right through guests’ cell phones
  • Winery and restaurant liaisons – volunteers will ensure all the participating wineries and restaurants are supported and stocked with what they need
  • The green team – volunteers will be circulating on-site at all times to make sure the grounds are looking pristine throughout the entire event itself
  • Event break-down – strong and able bodied volunteers are needed to help break down after the event wraps up at 9:00 pm; the more help on site, the faster everyone finishes!

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Kate Berman at kberman@opcc.net. For more info on OPCC and Lamp Community, please visit www.opcc.net and www.lampcommunity.org, respectively.

OPCC and Lamp Community serve adult and child victims of domestic violence and ends homelessness of Los Angeles' most vulnerable individuals, primarily adults with mental illness through a continuum of services and housing, enabling them to reach their highest level of self-sufficiency and community integration.  Volunteer today!

We Are LA @ Stub Hub Center
Sep 17 @ 10:00 am

We Are LA Family Festival aims to celebrate and engage the children and families in Los Angeles in a day-long family friendly music festival at the StubHub Center. The event promotes the importance of education for our children during the “Back to School” month of September.  Proceeds from the event support 7 child-focused nonprofit organizations in Los Angeles, including CASA of Los Angeles, and works to invest in the lives of children and families while making a difference in our community.

Los Angeles County has the population larger than 42 states, an economy larger than most countries and is a great exporter of philanthropy to other states and countries. Nearly 1 million people in Los Angeles are living in poverty and tragically only about 12 percent of 9th graders go on to earn a college degree. We Are LA Family Festival is about giving back to the community where we live, where our kids go to school, that provides us with beaches, movies, diverse cultural opportunities and warm sunshine year-round.  Support We Are LA Family Festival and celebrate the Los Angeles Community.

The formation of We Are LA came from the demands to support the tens of thousands of nonprofit organizations across Los Angeles, while lessening the competition for donors and resources, to create a collaborative platform where community supporters could enjoy a day of music, fun with friends and family, and give back to the community. After all, WE ARE LA.

Interested in volunteering to help with the event?  If so, please contact CASA/LA Special Events Manager Tara Grand at 323-859-2888 x6311 or TGrand@casala.org.We Are LA
