Celebrate City 2026: Partnering with the People’s College
- Thursday, April 23, 2026
- 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm
- Sacramento City College
Sacramento City College (SCC) is proud to host Celebrate City—our premier community open house and campus-wide block party. Each year, our campus transforms into a hub of music, food, and discovery. Last year, over 600 neighbors, alumni, and future Panthers joined us to explore our historic campus. From live performances to hands-on demonstrations, it is a day that showcases the very best of Sac City.
The Power of Your Partnership
Partnering with SCC and the Los Rios Colleges Foundation makes this celebration possible. Sponsorships first cover the costs of the event. All extra funds go directly into our Annual Fund.
This fund is our most important tool for helping students. It gives the college the flexibility to support students and solve problems the moment a need arises.
Why Partner with Sac City?
When you support Celebrate City, your investment does double duty:
Hyper-Local Visibility
Reach over 20,000 students, staff, and alumni who live, shop, and eat in the Land Park, Curtis Park, and Hollywood Park neighborhoods.
Direct Impact
Extra proceeds fund campus-wide Mini-Grants. This program provides resources for meaningful projects and scholarships that directly support student success, with a focus on equity, inclusion, and removing barriers for every student at SCC.
Community Connection
Bridge the gap between the classroom and the community by engaging directly with the next generation of Sacramento’s workforce.
Partnership Levels
We welcome both cash sponsorships and donated items (such as food, equipment, or event supplies). We honor these contributions with the same benefits as a cash gift of the same value.
