250th Anniversary of the United States

Home Posted on October 06, 2025

Dear Kenilworth,

 As we approach a truly historic milestone—the 250th Anniversary of the founding of our nation—we are proud to announce that Kenilworth will be hosting a community-wide yearlong celebration to honor this occasion.  The Borough of Kenilworth has authorized the appointment of a committee, in partnership with the Kenilworth Historical Society, to develop a plan for this commemoration that will promote the maximum involvement of our residents, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, civic organizations, and institutions in the commemorations. These events will not only commemorate America’s Semiquincentennial but will also highlight the rich history, patriotism, and community spirit that make our borough such a special place to live and do business.

We are reaching out to local businesses like yours to ask for your support in helping make this event memorable for all. Your sponsorship will directly contribute to festivities including children’s activities, a naturalization ceremony, historical displays, a grand fireworks show and much more.

There are multiple levels of sponsorship available, and all sponsors will be recognized in our event materials, on signage, and through our media outreach. Supporting this celebration offers your business a unique opportunity to receive valuable visibility and goodwill.

Ways You Can Support:

                •              Monetary sponsorships

                •              In-kind donations (products, services, materials)

                •              Volunteers or event support

                •              Business booth or display at the event

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Kenilworth Historical Society ensures that every dollar you invest returns measurable value to our residents and visitors while preserving our shared heritage for future generations.

Please consider one of the following sponsorship levels:

- Bronze Sponsor: $250

- Silver Sponsor: $500

- Gold Sponsor: $1,000

- Platinum Sponsor: $2,500 and above

We’re grateful for support at any sponsorship level, and we welcome contributions of any amount you choose.

We would be honored to partner with you for this once-in-a-generation event. Please feel free to contact myself or Shirley Maxwell with any questions or to discuss your involvement or to submit your gift.

Thank you for your consideration, your community spirit, and your support in making our borough’s 250th celebration of our Country one for the history books. 

With sincere appreciation,  

 

 

 

Linda Karlovitch, Mayor                                                                 Shirley Maxwell, President
