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.

Speakers Training: Colorectal Cancer Awareness Outreach @ American Cancer Society - Pasadena Office
Mar 24 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Speakers Training: Colorectal Cancer Awareness Outreach  @ American Cancer Society - Pasadena Office | Pasadena | California | United States

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death for men and women combined, but it is preventable, treatable and beatable if caught at an early stage. During CRC Awareness Month in March, the American Cancer Society is training volunteers to go out and speak in the community about the importance of screening, risk factors, and ACS's 80% By 2018 initiative to increase screening rates to reduce incidence and mortality rates. No medical background is necessary and volunteers will receive a PowerPoint presentation and samples of materials that are available for speakers to distribute. Examples of speaking opportunities are: community health fairs, service club meetings, church groups, senior centers, etc. If you are interested in making a difference in your community, please join ACS and learn more about how you can get involved! For questions or to RSVP, contact Viki Goto at viki.goto@cancer.org.

  • 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

  • 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
