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.
NDVets is proud to present the 9th Annual NDVets 5K Run/Walk. New Directions for Veterans (NDVets) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower formerly homeless men and women who served in the military, and their families, to lead productive and fulfilling lives. Join NDVets and honor our nation’s heroes at the NDVets 5k Run/Walk on Saturday, May 18th 2019. This is a family friendly 5K that offers a safe course throughout the West LA VA campus for both runners and walkers at all levels. Since 1992, NDVets has provided thousands of veterans in Los Angeles County with comprehensive services, including permanent and transitional housing, job training and assistance, substance abuse treatment, and parenting and money management classes. More than 1,800 veterans seek assistance from the organization each year. Through your participation in this 5K Run/Walk you will help raise much needed funding to continue to offer the life-saving services for veterans who need the support of their communities when they return home.

This is much more then a fundraising walk. Strut Your Mutt is a fun-filled festival where four-, three- and two-legged participants of all ages can take part in activities like doggie yoga, pet portraits, music, contests and more.
In 2018, at the many events across the country, as well as online, participants came together to show their support for the animals. Together, more than $2.3 million was raised.
