Annual Events
In 2019, following the World Service Conference’s request, NA World Services established three more worldwide events on our annual calendar in addition to the longstanding World Unity Day. These events are Sponsorship Day in December, Service Day in May, and Public Relations Week in June.
We encourage you to consider and discuss how your community will celebrate these days. If you have ideas for activities related to these special days, please send your comments to [email protected].
Next Annual Event
Service Day
On this day, we as a Fellowship reflect on the spiritual principles of NA service. To celebrate and encourage more members to serve, many areas plan a service learning day, or a service-related speaker jam or workshop.
PR Week
We encourage every PR area, regional, and zonal committee to commit to at least one activity. This year we also want to focus on growing PR service enthusiasm within the Fellowship. Some ideas for new activities can be found below.

World Unity Day: 6 September
The first weekend of September, join us for a heartfelt expression of NA’s worldwide unity as we take a moment to share the Serenity Prayer and reflect on our global Fellowship and our primary purpose: to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.
Sponsorship Day: 1 December
Addicts can celebrate Sponsorship Day in many ways. Many choose to gather with their sponsorship families or read from the Sponsorship book at their meetings. Areas may choose to hold local events such as a sponsor-sponsee speaker jam or brunch.
