About Tribal & Community Sponsorships

title-arrow

Strong communities develop from resilient citizens. Resilience arises from inclusivity and feeling connected to others.

San Manuel Band of Mission Indians welcomes opportunities to sponsor community events and activities in the Inland Empire and across Indian Country that enhance the image of the Tribe and engage and inspire Tribal Citizens to develop connections with the broader community, while supporting community goals.

We encourage San Manuel Tribal Citizens to be actively involved in communities through sponsorship of opportunities that inspire good health, wellness, and cultural and artistic appreciation—all of which help sustain a sense of community.
