About America250

"The U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission was established by Congress in 2016 to plan and orchestrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The nonpartisan Commission, chaired by former Treasurer of the United States Rosie Rios, is working with the America250 Foundation to engage Americans across the country in designing the largest and most inclusive anniversary observance in our nation’s history."

America250 - Community Partnerships

"Organizations and institutions across America – from federal agencies to tribal nations, from nonprofits to corporations, and from state commissions to local community groups – will play a vital role in marking America’s 250th anniversary. These organizations will lend their expertise and resources, craft memorable events nationwide, and help engage all Americans in this historic commemoration."  (from https://america250.org/about/partners/)

Keep checking the America250 website, and conduct your own web searches to see if the community in which you are planning an event has established an America250 organization.
