Sponsorship · Saturday, January 16, 2027

Your investment. Their opportunity. Our collective legacy.

Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC) and United Christian Faith Ministries (UCFM) invite your organization to underwrite a morning that helps fund college scholarships awarded on stage in Baton Rouge. Six sponsorships, led by the Legacy of Leadership presenting sponsorship. Some levels are limited so that every sponsor receives premium recognition.

Thank you to the organizations that underwrote the 2027 celebration, presented by Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC) and United Christian Faith Ministries (UCFM), and helped fund scholarships awarded on stage.

To talk about sponsoring the next celebration, speak with Mila Sexton.
