Big Sunday -
April 28th and 29th
On April 28th and 29th, the Mayor's Office, in partnership with the organization Big Sunday, will bring together tens of thousands of Angelenos to participate in:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Big Sunday '07
All Over Town, All Weekend Long
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On these two days, individuals and community groups will engage in a host of volunteer projects to beautify their communities, to help the less fortunate and to make the City of Los Angeles the best city it can be. Over 50,000 volunteers are expected, making Big Sunday the largest community volunteer event of its kind in the United States . We are encouraging Neighborhood Councils to participate in this wonderful event. This year the Mayor's Office will focus on bringing volunteers and resources to the city's schools. Members of the Mayor's staff are organizing over 200 beautification and clean-up projects at schools throughout the city. Supporting a project at a school in your jurisdiction would be a great opportunity for your council to reach out to your stakeholders and to establish lasting relationships with other community partners in your area.
Neighborhood Councils can support the event by mobilizing volunteers and also through financial support. The projects will be in need of water and other refreshments and supplies of various kinds.
If you are interested in participating in this event, we suggest that you contact the Area Director from the Mayor's Office who is responsible for your area of the city. They can direct you to the projects in most need of support.
