Special Event Involvement
John XXIII hosts a myriad of events each year that are only possible with the help of dedicated volunteers.
Big Sur Marathon/Half Marathon: Held each year in April and November, respectively, John XXIII hosts a water and gatorade aid station along the race course. This is a great opportunity to help hydrate the runners and experience the beauty of the sunrise and legendary Central California coastline.
Community Thanksgiving Dinner: Each year, on Thanksgiving Day, John XXIII partners with Epiphany Lutheran & Episcopal Church in Marina to host a dinner for not only those affected by HIV/AIDS, but anyone in the community that needs a “home” for the holiday. This family style buffet meal has become a tradition and we invite you to join us for service and a great meal! Volunteers are needed to cook turkeys, make side dishes, and provide assistance on the day of the vent.
World AIDS Day Events: Join our team on December 1st and help spread the word to our friends and community through outreach efforts on this honorable day.
Children’s Gift Drive: Each year, there are many children either infected with HIV or that have parents infected by HIV/AIDS that count on us for a joyful Christmas morning. You are invited to donate toys and wrapping paper or your time to help wrap gifts.
