RE: REQUEST FOR INSTALLATION AND AWARDS BANQUET SPONSORSHIP

“Fortieth Anniversary – Looking Back and Moving Forward”

Dear Friends of the Sacramento Black Chamber:

The Sacramento Black Chamber of Commerce Foundation (SBCCF) requests that your sponsorship of our 40th Annual Installation and Business Awards Banquet on February 21, 2026 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, CA from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. It will be a blacktie evening celebrating four decades of leadership, community impact and business excellence. This event highlights centuries of great African American contributions to the economic and social prosperity of Sacramento. More importantly, we will celebrate progress, examine current realities, and promote opportunities – with friends to the development and growth of ALL small businesses within our region’s economic and industrial base.

We anticipate the presence of over 300 prominent business, community and academic leaders, along with Sacramento’s government representatives and elected dignitaries at the local, state and national levels.

A 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization founded in 1985, the SBCCF’s mission is to foster economic prosperity and international trade that benefits all businesses in the Greater Sacramento region. We openly welcome all members – regardless of ethnicity – to connect and grow with Sacramento’s thriving and influential market of African American entrepreneurs, communities and culture.

Your tax deductible contribution to our Foundation will support the SBCC’s critically important Young Leadership Collaborative (YLC) – a locally celebrated program preparing future generations of America’s job creators now training our 17th cohort.

Thanks tremendously for your time and consideration. Attached with this letter is a promotional order form with event details and sponsor benefits.
