THE CARIBBEAN AMERICAN HERITAGE AWARDS The Caribbean American Heritage Awards (CARAH) began in 1994 as the annual

signature fundraising event for the Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS). The

CARAH Gala honors those who have made outstanding contributions to US

society, promoted Caribbean culture and interests in the US, as well as to

Friends of the Caribbean.

As a nonprofit organization, ICS relies on the generosity of the community to

help the Caribbean American community we serve. Your gift helps us to

provide a forum for the private sector, the non-governmental organization

community, and others interested in promoting a dialogue on the economic

and social development of people of Caribbean heritage.

Sponsoring the Caribbean American Heritage Awards is an excellent opportunity

for your organization to support one of the leading Caribbean American

organizations in the nation. As a sponsor, your organization will:

Gain exposure at the Awards Gala before 500 regional and international

minority entrepreneurs, senior public officials, politicians, business leaders,

minority business advocates, philanthropists, government officials, among

others.

Gain visibility throughout the Caribbean American community nationally and

internationally.

Elevate your company’s visibility through our various recognition benefits.

Become a partner of a leading advocacy and public policy organization.

Provide the necessary funds to help the various projects and programs

organized by ICS year round.
