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.
Help prepare for a free Thanksgiving dinner for community neighbors in need. They'll need help setting up and decorating the Parish Hall, serving meals, busing tables, and cleaning up. No cooking involved. About 100 meals are served (nice, restaurant style); all leftovers are boxed up as take-out suppers.
Do you love the show Wipe Out? Come volunteer for the Insane Inflatable 5K with the American Cancer Society! You will receive a volunteer crew t-shirt, lunch and snacks and access to the Insane Midway for games and activities.

Volunteers must be 18+ years old – bring your friends and have an insanely fun time! For more information or to sign up, contact Sophia Martini (sophia.martini@cancer.org) or 925-451-8189.

More than pink.
If you are like most people, you know someone who has had breast cancer. One in eight women, and some men, will have the disease during their lifetime.
Now imagine a world without breast cancer. That's the vision of Susan G. Komen.

The Songs & Stories of Billie Holiday in…
Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill
by Lanie Robertson
at International City Theatre
34 Years as Long Beach’s Resident Professional Theatre Company
Artistic Director/Producer caryn desai
“Original and riveting.” – The London Times
“A searing portrait of a woman whose art was triumphant.” – OnStage
Tony Award Winner! (2014)
About the play: The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. An audience sits waiting, not knowing that they are about to witness history as the legendary chanteuse steps into the spotlight for the last time, four months before her death at age 44. Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill is full of heart-melting numbers like “God Bless the Child,” “Strange Fruit,” and “What a Little Moonlight Can Do”. Billie bares her loves and losses in this intimate and stunning Tony Award-winning Broadway musical.
