Sponsorships
About Tribal & Community Sponsorships
Strong communities develop from resilient citizens. Resilience arises from inclusivity and feeling connected to others.
The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians sponsors community events and activities throughout the Inland Empire and Indian Country. These sponsorships hope to inspire connection, drive community development, and advocate self-determination for all.
We encourage San Manuel Tribal Citizens to be actively involved in communities through sponsorship of opportunities that inspire good health, wellness, and cultural and artistic appreciation—all of which help sustain a sense of community.
