Dear Potential Sponsors,
We are excited to extend an invitation to you to be a part of
the 9th Annual Ocean City Jazz Festival. This two-day festival
is a celebration of jazz and local African American history. It
is a fun time on the beach, and a way to increase awareness
of the historic Ocean City community which was founded in 1949. Ocean City is a
designated Onslow Country Tourism historical site and is the first African American
coastal community in the state. The festival is an example of inclusion and tolerance,
and a way to raise funds to help preserve historical sites in this unique community.
When you partner with the festival, 100% of your sponsorship goes to support the
vision of the Ocean City Jazz Festival, to include
• Preservation of the historic Ocean City Community,
• Promotion of the history of Ocean City community and it significance to the state
• Foster music education by underwriting jazz workshops, and mentoring
programs with master musicians for local students
• Underwriting of festival costs including performances by local and national
musicians
To achieve our goal the Ocean City Jazz festival, as a charitable cause will accept
donations, welcome volunteers and raise funds from individuals, businesses, and
organizations, in order to support our mission.
There will be silent auctions, vendors, the gold standard in jazz musicians, and
upscale amenities in a beautiful beach setting.
We are centrally located on Topsail Island, and have a highly visible street presence,
and strong traffic count. This provides an excellent opportunity for ad views paired
with an outstanding social cause.
We invite you to consider supporting the mission, and programs of the Ocean
City Jazz Festival. Ads and sponsorship opportunities are now available, and we
welcome in-kind and tailored support. We look forward to discussing sponsorship
opportunities with you soon and thank you in advance for your consideration and
support.

President, Ocean City Beach Citizens Council
Our Story The Ocean City Community founded in 1949, was the only place African Americans could purchase coastal property in North Carolina, 15 years before the Civil Right Act. In 2009, to celebrate its 60th anniversary, a Fayetteville, NC jazz saxophonist and his accompanists were invited to provide entertainment on the porch of the Community Center. It was enjoyed by all in attendance, bringing in surrounding visitors to Topsail Island, NC and thus, the annual Ocean City Jazz Festival was launched as a vehicle to promote the history of the Ocean City Community. Ocean City has been designated as a historical site on the Jacksonville-Onslow County African American Trail and provides a wonderful 2-day venue for jazz lovers of all ages. The Festival has grown annually in attendance and features nationally recognized jazz artists making it a perfect venue and destination for the summer.
Our Mission To promote and preserve the history and expand the knowledge of the Ocean City Community in North Carolina, preserve the historical site, support tourism through financial support of the diversity that Jazz inspires.
Our Vision Increase interest in the genre of Jazz through performance and education in partnership with the municipalities of Topsail Island, NC, surrounding counties and state educational entities/agencies.
