<div>Help Make the <a href="https://www.dcstatefair.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DC State Fair’s</a> Sweet 16 the Best One Yet!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s hard to believe, but the <strong>DC State Fair is turning 16 this year</strong> — a true Sweet 16 moment!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began as a grassroots celebration of local talent, creativity, and community pride has grown into one of the most joyful events in the District. Each year, we gather to honor DC’s <strong>makers, bakers, growers, artists, musicians</strong>, and everyday champions — and we do it all out of pure love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Here’s the truth: <strong>we’re facing a $20,000 funding gap</strong> to make the Fair happen at the level of excellence and fun our community deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As an <strong>all-volunteer team</strong>, every dollar raised goes right back into essentials like:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Equipment rentals &amp; staging
</li>
<li>Permits &amp; insurance
</li>
<li>Kids’ activities
</li>
<li>Accessibility support
</li>
<li>And more
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you’ve been to every Fair since the beginning or are discovering us for the first time, <strong>you’re part of what makes this celebration special.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Make a Difference</strong>
</div>
<div>Every gift — no matter the size — helps us keep the Fair <strong>free, fun, and open to all</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Can you chip in to help us throw DC’s biggest, brightest, most community-rooted Sweet 16 party?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About the DC State Fair</strong>
</div>
<div>The <strong>DC State Fair </strong>is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 27-3804087). Your tax-deductible gift helps us celebrate and support the <strong>artistic, agricultural, and culinary talents</strong> of the District!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Sponsorship Opportunities</strong>
</div>
<div>Does your business want to connect with the DC community? Sponsor benefits include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Your name &amp; logo in promotional materials and Fair signage
</li>
<li>A chance to speak from our Main Stage
</li>
<li>Vendor space to program however you choose
</li>
</ul>
