Gala Advertising & Sponsorship Opportunities

Support the JAC Annual Trailblazer & Scholarship Gala

Each year, the Jamaican American Connection (JAC) brings the community together for our Annual Trailblazer & Scholarship Gala, a night of elegance, recognition, and giving back. This signature event celebrates leaders of the Caribbean diaspora and fuels our mission to empower the next generation.

In 2025 alone, JAC awarded over $17,000 in scholarships to students from the Greater New Haven area, helping them achieve their academic and career goals. With your support, we can continue—and expand—this life-changing impact.

By becoming a sponsor or advertising in our Gala Program Booklet, you’ll not only demonstrate your commitment to education and culture but also reach an audience of community leaders, professionals, and supporters across Connecticut.

Why Support the Gala?

Visibility & Recognition – Your brand featured in front of hundreds of engaged guests, alumni, and supporters.
Community Impact – Every dollar helps fund scholarships, book awards, and community initiatives.
Cultural Celebration – Showcase your support for the rich contributions of the Caribbean diaspora.
Networking & Partnerships – Connect with business leaders, educators, and change makers.
