Looking for Nonprofit Events

I'm looking for about 6-12 nonprofits that have a planned event between March and June. Location does not matter. Local, national, or international is fine.
If you have an idea or a cause you support you want to bring attention too, please suggest it with a link to their event page. 
I'd like to check it out.
