Major Co-Sponsors
This program would not be possible without the help of colleagues and friends who support diversity, equity, and inclusion. The list continues to grow, and we want to acknowledge and thank everyone.
Sponsorship submissions for this year's event are being accepted through Feb. 28, 2025.
The CCDH Planning Committee values its partnerships with university units. This program is a great opportunity to sustain our university engagement and for MSU departments and colleges to demonstrate their support by serving as a sponsor. We have three sponsorship tier options:
- Tier 1 – El Sembrador (Sower): $500 includes name on website.
- Tier 2 – El Cultivador (Cultivator): $1,000 includes name on website, social media and celebration.
- Tier 3 – El Cosechador (Harvester): $3,000 includes name on website, social media and 4 reserved seats at the celebration.
Funds collected will go to help support the celebration, related farmworker appreciation week events, and scholarships for MSU students. Let us continue our partnership by working together to build a community where all members can thrive.
