3000 Meals Across 7 Countries

Annual May Day of Service

Reflecting on the essence of service and community impact, the ethos of Big Five Tours & Expeditions resonates deeply with empowering individuals and communities worldwide. From fostering microentrepreneur projects for women in Andean communities to preserving endangered dialects in the Amazon to supporting projects in our native Kenya, the commitment to uplifting the voiceless and marginalized is unwavering.

In honoring the legacy of Mahendra L Sanghrajka and the enduring values of Big Five, a meaningful initiative was born. On May 16, my father’s birthday, a global day of service was established by my colleagues at the Big Five team, commencing annually from 2025 onwards. This day transcends borders, inspiring acts of kindness and generosity across diverse regions and cultures.

In Stuart, the commemoration took the form of a heartfelt food drive for the homeless, orchestrated by the Treasure Coast Food Bank, complemented by a captivating aerial performance at Florida Aerial Dance. All of this was orchestrated by dedicated team members, Jessica and Lily. Their collective efforts symbolize the essence of who Big Five is as a company and who we are as the Big Five family.

The impact of this unified endeavor resulted in over 3,000 meals spanning 7 countries, from India to Tanzania, to Nicaragua and beyond, in just 2 hours.

We invite every advisor, colleague, and friend to join us May 16, 2026, and every year after either here in Stuart, or in your own town on this newly declared Big Five day of service. Thank you to all who participated this year. If you would like more information on how to get involved, please contact my colleague Jessica Gonzalez at sustainability@bigfive.com
