Help Alabama Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday — Become a Brand Partner!
In 2026, the United States of America will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence – America’s 250th Birthday — and America 250 Alabama wants your company to be a partner in Alabama’s celebration of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
We invite you to become a Made in Alabama Brand Partner.

Our mission is to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States’ Declaration of Independence by supporting and promoting a multitude of programs and events that educate, engage, and unite Alabamians around the Nation’s founding principles.
