SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

The Harvest Moon Soirée will celebrate mid-Autumn festival traditions across Asian cultures with lanterns and mooncakes, music and dancing, and gourmet Asian food, while supporting AAPI Montclair’s work furthering belonging, community, rights, and representation for New Jersey’s 1,000,000+ strong Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Work supported will include Teach Asian American Stories, a major new initiative accelerating the inclusion of AAPI history and contributions in our public school classrooms. 

The main event from 7:30-11:00pm will also feature an AAPI jazz quartet (courtesy of Peter Lin, organizer of the AAPI Jazz Fest), Asian food from different cultures, a silent and live auction, and more. The event will be held on the terrace and grounds of a private residence in Montclair, NJ, with capacity for 100 guests for the pre-event dumpling hour and 250 total guests.

Support for the Harvest Moon Soirée is an ideal opportunity for companies or firms to show their commitment to fighting anti-Asian racism and investing in generational change for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. All sponsors increase brand awareness and reflect community care and engagement with New Jersey’s 1 million strong Asian American community, its fastest-growing demographic.

Below is a recognition plan for your investment. We understand that every individual and corporation is unique, and welcome the opportunity to customize a plan that fits your priorities.
