I want to make you aware that a major milestone in the Sugar Land 95 Memorial Project will occur on June 19, 2025. The long-awaited Texas State Historical Marker has arrived and will be unveiled at a special ceremony and celebration at the James Reese Career and Technical Center. The event will be hosted by the Fort Bend County Historical Commission, Fort Bend ISD, and our community partner, Friends of the Sugar Land 95.
Due to the event taking place on Juneteenth, we anticipate a large number of attendees, including descendants of the Sugar Land 95, dignitaries, officials, students, staff of FBISD, and the community at large. We are planning a robust program that will engage attendees in a heartfelt experience to include music, speakers, and opportunities to learn more about the progress of the Sugar Land 95 Memorial Project.
The two-part event will include the official dedication ceremony and procession to the cemetery for the unveiling, followed by a community celebration hosted by the Friends of the Sugar Land 95.
We welcome you and your organization to be a part of this community event and consider being an event sponsor. There are various levels of sponsorship and opportunities to assist us in making this a meaningful day for both our community and the newly identified descendants of the Sugar Land 95 who attend.
Attached to this email is the event promotion packet that includes the event flyers and sponsorship opportunity details. I ask that you share the flyer with your networks and on social media.
