About this Event
On behalf of the Empowerment Community Development Corporation, I am excited to extend an invitation for you to become a sponsor for our upcoming Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Dr. Coretta Scott King’s Day Celebration, which will take place on Saturday, January 18, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at our event venue, 309 West Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, Tyler, Texas.
This event promises to be a day filled with free food, entertainment, and fellowship for the entire community. We are thrilled to be joined by Sheila and Jerry Johnson, aka "The Johnson Duo", as our event hosts, as well as a special performance by the Tyler-ISD Caldwell Arts Academy Drumline. It’s an event that brings together families, neighbors, and local leaders to honor the legacies of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Dr. Coretta Scott King through meaningful celebration and community spirit.
The day’s activities will also serve as a fundraiser aimed at supporting a crucial cause: raising $1,000 to build a water well in South Sudan. This effort is particularly important, as South Sudan faces a severe water crisis, with many communities lacking access to clean drinking water. The water well initiative will not only provide much-needed clean water but will also have a profound impact on improving health, education, and economic opportunities in the region.
In addition to the fundraiser, we are pleased to honor several exceptional community leaders for their dedication to making a positive impact. These honorees include:
1. Dr. Carolyn Harvey for her work in fighting cancer.
2. Mayor Greg Davis of Moore Station, Texas.
3. Nansi Jaimes for empowering women in business and community leadership.
4. Casey Muze, a mental health expert who uses drumming for therapeutic healing.
5. Antwanise Jackson, a key figure in building the East Texas community through special events and business endeavors.
As we aim to make this event a success, we are seeking Title Sponsors to help make our vision a reality. Your support will ensure we can continue to serve the community and contribute to impactful global initiatives like the water well project. Sponsorship opportunities are available at several levels, each offering great visibility and benefits for your company.
Additionally, we have vendor space available for those interested in showcasing their products or services. This event presents a fantastic opportunity for businesses to connect with the East Texas community while supporting a good cause.
We hope you will consider becoming a sponsor for this important event. Your partnership will not only help elevate this event but also demonstrate your commitment to making a difference in the lives of those in need, both locally and globally.
Please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] for more information or to discuss sponsorship options.
We look forward to partnering with you to make this year’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Dr. Coretta Scott King’s Day Celebration a memorable and impactful occasion for the entire community.
