Since taking leadership of Holland’s Juneteenth Freedom Festival, we’ve transformed it into a powerful community event, welcoming over 10,500 attendees, 285 vendors, and 24 sponsors. Last year’s festival nearly doubled in participation, filling Kollen Park with vibrant Black-led entertainment, family-friendly activities, and enthusiastic vendor engagement. Your support made this possible, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back as a returning sponsor this year.

As we celebrate our 5th year as a nonprofit, we are preparing for another impactful Juneteenth Freedom Festival on Saturday, June 21, at Kollen Park, centered around the theme “I AM Love.” This festival continues to bring communities together across West Michigan, creating space for joy, meaningful connections, and opportunities for learning and growth.

Would you consider joining us again as a sponsor? Your tax-deductible contribution will sustain I AM Academy’s year-round programming while expanding the reach of this vital celebration.
