Sponsors
The North Carolina Pacific Arts Festival is a non-profit 501(3)C organization. Our festival features cultural dances, music, educational displays, arts & crafts, and food. Participating Islands are afforded the opportunity to showcase their unique indigenous traditional culture and practices through song and dance. This event reunites people and reinforces identity and mutual appreciation of the diverse Pacific Islands culture. This is quite important as Onslow County hosts many Polynesian, Micronesian, and Melanesian members of the Armed Forces; many of these service members make Onslow County and surrounding cities their permanent residence as they retire.
In addition to our educational and cultural celebration events, each year we aim to provide 2 – 4 scholarships to local high school students. These scholarships aid students with expenses related to college or other continued education programs.
Local businesses make this possible. NCPAF could not do it without their support. Please consider serving as a sponsor; so that we can continue to increase cultural awareness and support our local community.
Donations
North Carolina Pacific Arts Festival is a non-profit 501(3)C organization, and we appreciate the support from individuals and businesses like yours. Please consider becoming a donor.
