Deaf History Month,

About the event

A time to celebrate the rich cultural history of the Deaf community, and continue the work of advocating for the rights of Deaf people everywhere. It was officially founded, and more than 100 years later on March 13th, 1988 Gallaudet University nominated I. King Jordan was their first deaf President. Deaf History Month appears to have started on March 13th, 1996 when two deaf employees working at Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, D.C. started teaching their colleagues sign language. 

Why should you sponsor?

Strengthening your business and the nonprofit organization's image is one of the most valuable benefits of event sponsorship. Customers love brands that care about spreading positive messages and helping the community. Linking your business to a worthy cause can draw lasting support and media attention.

Community involvement also sets you apart from larger brands. People have more incentive to support your business if you’re invested in the local community. To recognize about history matters to customers, and pick causes that align with their values to boost loyalty.
