Rotary International - District 5280

05/23/2026

On May 23, Rotarians across the greater Los Angeles area are coming together for the Rotary District 5280 EPIC Day of Service — and YOU are invited to be part of it.

This is more than volunteering.
It’s neighbors helping neighbors.
It’s communities uniting for good.
It’s people of action showing what happens when compassion turns into service.

From feeding families, beautifying neighborhoods, supporting veterans, helping schools, caring for the environment, and so much more — Rotary clubs throughout LA are stepping up to make a real difference in ONE powerful day.

Bring your family.
Invite your friends.
Grab your coworkers.
Come experience the magic of service and see firsthand how Rotary is changing lives across Los Angeles.

Together, we can create hope, inspire kindness, and make our communities stronger.

Join a project near you and be part of something EPIC:

This year's District Conference Cruise would not have been possible without our Premiere Sponsors. Please join us in expressing our unending gratitude to a District 5280 dynamic duo, Past District Governor Cozette Vergari and Past District Treasurer Richard Moon.

Sponsoring the District Conference at Sea furthers their unwavering legacy of service and leadership.

Feeling a little FOMO about participating in the District Conference Cruise? The good news is that you can participate from dry land while also being a service superhero!

Join us for NAMIWalks on Saturday, May 16, on board the Quantum of the Seas during the District Conference or at LA State Historic Park if you are staying ashore.

This special event brings together advocates, families, and friends to walk in support of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to promote hope, education, and support for those affected by mental health conditions.

Every step you take helps NAMI continue its mission to build better lives for millions of Americans affected by mental illness. Together, we can break the stigma and create a sea of change.
